Details: Another oddity to end today's batch. This is not the cost-cutting NNBfL (New New Bus for London) but a location dining vehicle. Such vehicles provide seating accommodation for people working at sites without suitable facilities, and the role has often been fulfilled by time-expired buses. They are most commonly associated with on-location TV and movie filming, but have also made appearances at railway engineering works. Examples seen on LTSV include an MCW Metrobus at Stepney Green in 2013 and a semi-trailer (very like the one shown above) at Goodge Street in 2009. This example was actually photographed in Cardiff on 9th September 2009 (possibly in connection with filming of Doctor Who), and it was being towed by a plain white MAN L 2000 8.163 tractor unit. More photos of these trailers (including interior views) can be found on the Delux Diners website at https://www.deluxdiners.co.uk/. All of the trailers seem to have the errant apostrophe in their lettering.
