Details: In April I published a photo of emergency service vehicles attending an incident at Holborn Station in October 1978. Two more photos taken at the time have now been received. The first again shows Ford Thames Trader 1281F from Neasden (having recently transferred from Hainault) with Leyland Titan 1277LD behind. The third lorry is now known to be 1283F, also from Neasden. Further back are a Bedford HA van in light blue (2120B from Pelham Street), a Land-Rover (believed to be 1762LR from South Kensington) and Ford D0710 box truck 1986F. A couple of red cars are also visible but their identities are not known. The incident involved a flat wagon in an engineer's train which suffered a broken axle.
