| With three new dustcarts delivered at the end of last year, I wasn't expecting to see any more for a while. Then in February I got reports of one, then two, then three more additions! Two were three-axle versions like WO66HHT seen approaching Acton Works on 22nd February 2017. This might have been its delivery or test run, as it seemed to be lacking the application of reflective safety markings seen on such vehicles. It is also noticeable that the bodywork is slightly different to the earlier deliveries, and there is NTM branding on the side (close to the belisha beacon!). Note also that this vehicle has the bus-style folding cab doors on the nearside. This was a feature on the first three of LUL's Mercedes Econics (2576 and 2582/2583) but later deliveries had a conventional door. Not apparent from the (offside) photos published last month is the fact that the three additions in December also had the folding doors. Iveco Stralis demountable LK08LDY is in close pursuit. |
