Details: Back to Wimbledon again, and here we see the Transplant mobile office, built on Mercedes-Benz Axor WX08KUY. This started out as a dropside lorry in 2008 but was rebodied as shown in 2014. It was attending the derailment of a South Western Railway 'Desiro' on LUL tracks outside Wimbledon Station. The most interesting aspect of this photo is that the nearside wheels are not touching the ground! I presume it had been jacked up to make it level, which I suppose would help with the kitchen inside. However, in the photos that Derek provided, I could see no sign of how or where it was jacked. Also just visible in this view (taken on 7th November 2017) are Toyota Prius car 8587T and facilities van 7678F.
