The 21 Mercedes lorries delivered in 1990 included two dustcarts based on the 2421 chassis with SK-series 'day' cabs and Norba compactor bodies. Replacing two of the 1985 Dodge Commando dustcarts, the Mercedes were in the new standard LUL white/blue livery with huge 'Support services' lettering and 'Working for a cleaner Underground' added underneath. 2482M seems to have been photographed a lot more than sister 2483M, and it was seen passing through Victoria on 12th July 1994. The 'Clinical waste' compartment below the bodywork, and the two circular items nearby (inlet/outlet pipes?) are not original features, having been added in about 1993. Note that a 'GLC Exempt Vehicle' label is also displayed. |
