Article The Ford E83W Utilecons with London Transport |
I have revisited the notes I made in my ABC for Autumn 1960, and I don't now believe there is any evidence that 939F and 940F had windows fitted. I've been unable to find any photos of them, and my notes were written because the Utilecon Bs were all missing from that edition, even though some were still active. I recorded 943F as a van when I noticed it had no windows, but may well have not been able to re-check the other two. |

Vehicle E2 - Eagle Trailer |
This was originally numbered 32 in the 1943 trailer numbering scheme. It was then described as 4w Cable Float (winch) (solid tyre) and was allocated to Rye Lane tramway permanent way depot. When that closed in June 1950 it will have been moved to Bowles Road.

Vehicle FXT440 Lister Auto-Truck Truck |
The 1943 trailers list shows trailer No.7 as a 4w Flat Trailer (for Lister truck), allocated to Earls Court. This suggests FXT440 was the predecessor to Mercury electric JXC354 on the Lillie Bridge to Earls Court signals dept trips.

Vehicle 85Q DGJ177 AEC Mercury Tower Wagon |
Photo dated 6/10/53 shows it at Islington sub station, with ‘Holloway’ on cab door. Later photo shows it with ‘Islington’ on door. I suggest it may have transferred there on 8/52 (when 100N left Farringdon), and returned to Highgate on 8/58 when replaced by 415P at Islington. |
