| Parked up tower wagons and maintenance vehicles for trolleybus overhead repairs. Some of these vehicles maybe withdrawn from use and awaiting disposal? One vehicle, converted from a former bus, has had the overhead tower assembly removed, which may have been transferred to a replacement vehicle? |
