Parked at the former trolleybus stand on Wangey Road, 3251's conductor, Alan Money chats to his driver. I seemed to encounter Alan every time I came east before moving permanently in 82. He's now involved with several preserved vehicles. The bus is also preserved, being one of the Romford Green Line batch.
