A line up of 2-and-a-half service vehicles at a rally in October 1997 includes AEC Militant Master Breakdown Tender 1457MR and Leyland Titan Breakdown Tender 1416LD. The latter vehicle was originally a railway breakdown vehicle but transferred to bus use in 1974. Titans often attended serious accidents in conjunction with the Militants but this particular pairing is unlikely to have occurred. 1416LD was based at Camberwell (with 1456MR), while 1457MR lived at Cricklewood (where it was joined by 1278LD). The half service vehicle is imposter AEC Marshal recovery truck NER790R, painted up as London Transport 1990Q. |
