Details: Two interesting vehicles were photographed together at Acton Works in July 2011. On the left is Ford Transit crew van 7039F. This is one of two Ashwoods hybrid conversions delivered in June and later allocated to Westdown Road. On the right is Mercedes-Benz Sprinter truck 2563M. Normally based at Lillie Bridge depot and fitted with a generator, it was probably here for re-taxing. These vehicles (there were three of them) were originally thought to be demountables. However, the lack of slide rails on the chassis suggests otherwise.

Thomas YoungCorrecting myself, 2563M was most likely here for disposal, its role at Lillie Bridge having been taken over by a modified 5474F.
