Details: Between 1991 and 2006, Locomotors demountable body DB7 served as the Emergency Control Unit for London Underground. Replaced by newer DB25, it was relettered as an Emergency Support Unit. The first report of it in use came in July 2010. Following a cable fire that lead to the District line being suspended, the body was found parked outside Plaistow Station on the 6th. The fact that it was 'deposited' (ie the lorry that brought it had gone) is slightly unusual, especially as this is a public road. Apart from the change of lettering and chevrons, the only visible modification was the removal of the rear-mounted aerial/sign (compare to this 2003 photo).
