Broadway Clive
London Transport Ford Consul Mk2
In the 1950s, LT staff cars were more usually restricted to work related use, and in 1959 WYL634 was allocated to the Broadway pool (HQ at 55 Broadway). The model is a modified R. Parker kit.
Also in view is the back end of WYL682, a Ford Escort allocated to the Works and Building department.
The location is Swan Mews, where there were indeed some industrial premises, just over the road from LT’s Parsons Green W&B department depot. But my model has been adapted from some buildings nearer to Putney Bridge that are still in use by the motor trade. From a modeller's viewpoint its a useful place to store any cars needing attention.
