Among the more distinctive service vehicles operated were eight of these Railway Breakdown Tenders delivered in the early 1960s. They were joined in 1966 by one further example which differed in having a continuous roofline (1416LD). All were based on the Leyland Titan PD3A/1 bus chassis and featured a crew cab and illuminated headboard sign. Several also carried boards for the display of posters. 1273LD (571EYU), seen here at Lillie Bridge, was the first to arrive and, like most of the others, survived into the 1980s. In the background are several LT service wagons and a rail-mounted crane. |
