| The eight AEC Matador breakdown tenders London Transport bought from the War Department in 1947 were used to deal with various incidents involving buses, including turn-overs. This official photo shows 748P demonstrating the method of righting a bus, in this case an LT-class six-wheeler. 748P was bought in December 1947, but did not enter service until January 1949, following some modifications. It was initially allocated to Cricklewood Garage, and the railway line visible in the background makes me think this is where the photo was taken. |
