Lesmac Swift Trolley 901007 (Aug 2020)

The Lesmac Swift rapid response trolley and trailer serves a similar function to the Wickham Trolley, being capable of transporting up to four personnel plus equipment to the work site^[1].

Trolley 901007 was built by Lesmac in 2006 as LMS017.^[2] The trolley carries an identification tag "fastline FL027286" visible between two of the seats, which suggests the former owner was Fastline, a company which ceased trading when parent company Jarvis plc entered administration and subsequently ceased trading in late March 2010.^[3]

During the major refurbishment of Bewdley Tunnel over the winter of 2011-12, Wickham Trolley 9021 normally used by the Bewdley PW gang to access work sites was undergoing a major overhaul. The tunnel contractors, Walsh Construction, provided the Lesmac and its trailer on extended loan.^[4] The photograph in August 2020 shows the trolley at its regular storage location alongside the Down line at Bewdley.
