The use of demountable bodies is an important aspect of the modern service vehicle fleet, but they are rarely seen on their own. As this picture shows, all are fitted with retractable legs making them free-standing. The lorry chassis are then simply driven underneath. This view at Acton Works on 22nd February 2006 shows three 'naked' bodies. On the left is DB24 built by Feltham Coachworks in 1996. Although the newest body in the fleet, it sees little use, as evidenced by its condition and out-dated lettering. It is also larger than most demountables and is believed to only be suitable for carrying by Ivecos 2554F and 2555F. In the centre is DB13 built by Locomotors. Although apparently delivered as a dropside, it had by then become a flatbed. On the right is DB20, again by Feltham but to the more normal size, and fitted with a door on the nearside only.
