1,303 592BXV Colour grey, noted from photograph after sale. 23/01/2023 Clive G
1,304 895B JXC340 It will have been fitted to tow the Westminster type canteen trailer used at Hayes that is pictured in the Kim Rennie LTSV book. That was most likely to be no.71, which was officially listed as being at Chingford in 1943. 13/01/2023 Clive G
1,305 871B KLB995 The Kim Rennie LTSV book has a photo of a Westminster type canteen trailer at Hayes with the registration number of 871B fixed to the rear. So this would be the reason for it being equipped to tow at Hounslow Garage in April 1959.There it replaced 895B which had also been fitted to tow. The trailer was most likely no.71 which was officially listed as being at Chingford in 1943. 13/01/2023 Clive G
1,306 865B JXC344 I suggest this was licensed to tow in June 1956 for a Dennis fire pump trailer kept at Dalston Garage which may have been used for cleaning the Minories bus station. When seen by myself in 1959 that carried the registration number of 865B, which was by then in store at Hounslow. 13/01/2023 Clive G
1,307 862B JXN500 I suggest this was never a 'towing truck' but was just 'licensed to tow'. There was a Dennis fire pump trailer kept at Dalston Garage which may have been used for cleaning the Minories bus station. When seen by myself in 1959 that carried the registration number of 865B which had replaced 862B in June 1956. 13/01/2023 Clive G

1,339 964B MXX209 922AS and 964-6B are all shown on official documents as 'Food Vans'. Did they differ from 'Catering Vans'? 28/11/2022 Clive G
1,340 354Y HX176 Although shown on contemporary LT documents as being Miller Tractors, the six vehicles (354Y, 355Y, 356Y and pre-1939 numbers 137, 139 and 142) were actually made by Millars. Thanks to Clive for spotting this. 21/11/2022 Thomas Young
1,341 337V BYE517 I believe this may actually be 337V as that is described by JCG in 1940 as being this type of vehicle but carrying registration BYE517 (rather than BYE157). BY517 is a Croydon registration and would seem like yet another error, so maybe this one should be removed?) (This note was originally posted against the record of un-numbered vehicle BY517. That record has now been deleted as it was shown to actually be the same vehicle as 337V BYE517) 18/11/2022 Clive G
1,342 991AS SLT69 This is not a towing lorry as photos show it did not have a tow hook, and of course it was far too light to ever tow a trolleybus. 16/11/2022 Clive G

1,349 337V BYE517 The Flicker link photo is not this vehicle at all. That one is a pedal tricycle that was stored in Merton Garage as late as 1959. It apparently carried tea and crockery for bus crews at Epsom Derby days, and being pedal powered carried no registration number! 09/11/2022 Clive G

1,357 JXC354 There were persistent rumors this had a petrol engine. My examination showed no evidence of it. A single row of batteries lay across the back of the cab area from below the seat, and there was another battery on the floor near the steering wheel column. 'MCC Electric' was printed on a small metal plate in the cab area. I believe the confusion lay with non-LT MLL476 a petrol engine version with longer wheelbase from 1951 now preserved

1,363 AJ21CPX Although listed by the company as being at Grays (along with newer AK22LXS), the sightings suggest that this van is actually based somewhere in south London. 20/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,364 9031F LR20FEM Licensing data lists this as a MWB mid-height van, though observations suggest it is high-roof. Need a photo to confirm... 20/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,365 925B KLB862 Seen by me late 1960 in the garage at Hainault. This and VRC showing docking at Barking would suggest it was allocated Hainault. 17/10/2022 Clive G
1,366 FXT440 A Lister number 913G from Lillie Bridge is noted as arriving at Aldenham Works on 19/09/1949 for an overhaul. Dont know if this is relevant at all. 17/10/2022 Clive G

1,370 1283F 581EYU Although listed on all Variation Sheets and Registers as being at Neasden, other documents (and observations) indicate that this vehicle was actually based at Hainault from new to Feb 1975, when the Hainault emergency base was closed. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,371 1280LD ALM843B Although listed on all Variation Sheets and Registers as being at Neasden, other documents (and observations) indicate that this vehicle was actually based at Hainault from new to Feb 1975, when the Hainault emergency base was closed. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,372 1281F 579EYU Although shown on Variation Sheets and Registers as being at Hainault from 1964 until at least October 1975, other documents (and personal observations) suggest it was actually based at Ealing Common continually between July 1964 and January 1978 at least. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,373 1277LD 575EYU Although listed on all Variation Sheets and Registers as being at Neasden, other documents (and observations) indicate that this vehicle was actually always based at Ealing Common. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,374 1493AS VLW618G Was this van really white? All other LT Austin J vans (including the one this replaced) were grey. Notably, number 1492B was a white vehicle, so I wondered if this was a recording slip-up. However, the photo found on-line certainly looks lighter than the standard grey livery. Which leads to the question why was this van white?... 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,375 1493AS VLW618G Photo at https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=24754. Marked as unknown, the location appears to be the side yard at Victoria (GM) garage, and the van has a 'Radio Control' notice in the windscreen. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,376 19A JBP392P Registration correction. A photo found on-line suggests this van was JBP392P (a Portsmouth mark) rather than JPB392P, a Guildford mark. xPB marks were used by LCBS but the xBP one ties in with the van being supplied by Wadham Stringer, and is backed-up by DVLA records. It seems the error originated with LCBS's own documentation, the variation sheets showing JPB. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young
1,377 19A JBP392P Photo at https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1433. Although marked as unknown, the location looks like somewhere around Baker Street. The van has a windscreen label referring to 'xxx 1976 xx Exhibition', so this was presumably after the 16th May 1976 LT Gala Day at Syon Park, which both LCBS 19A and 19F attended. 14/10/2022 Thomas Young

1,379 205C (TP) In a report produced by J C Gilham in 1939 this is listed by its original number 220 as allocated to Hendon (trolleybus depot later known as Colindale). In his 1940 report he notes it was transferred from Hendon to Charlton Works by 10/37 and repainted dark green.
A photo of it in later years in use as a red rescue truck at Fulwell shows it with two panels on the nearside of the tilt instead of one. (I have not seen an offside view)

1,380 213L YT7380 Evidence from Facebook 'London Transport Service Vehicles - Historical Research Group' that photo shows this at Aurelia Road Tram Depot in Mitcham. Might this be the location in 1938 that is missing from the record card? 06/10/2022 Clive G

1,382 216L XP8535 A photo posted on Facebook 'London Transport Service Vehicles - Historical Research Group' shows this at Aurelia Road Tram Depot in Mitcham, bearing the number 147. Might this be the location in 1938 that is missing from the record card? 05/10/2022 Clive G
1,383 953B KYY998 A high metal tilt with a forward facing window was fitted to the front of the trailer when I first saw it in the latter half of 1959. Kim Rennie's book pictures it as delivered, without the tilt, but refers to its later use transporting the tubular bus shelters. This would explain the conversion and suggest the inclusion of a rear facing bench for the crew in similar fashion to shelter carriers 921LT and 1018J. 05/10/2022 Clive G
