Details: I was reviewing the photo collection recently and I realised I had never published a picture of Scania artic 2577. This vehicle was acquired second-hand in 2000, along with two fuel oil tank trailers (T71 and T72), as a response to the fuel strikes and shortages of the time. Existing service vehicles could not be used since artic tractors for oil traffic are required to have modified exhaust pipes (visible under the front bumper here) to reduce the risk of fires. Having seen little activity it was sold a few years later. However, as this photograph proves, it was put to more general use on at least one occasion. Coming down Bollo Lane towards Acton works in 2002 or 2003, it has trailer T74 in tow, loaded with train bogies.
