A Curzon Street deck gang transferring merchandise from the road vehicle unloading dock into a van via an electric trolley. The three man gang, the driver, checker and a loader, are in the process of loading a van which is destined for Birkenhead. The LMS electrical trolleys were of a different design to the LNWR model. They were steered by the handle on the left driven by using a foot treadle for speed. The large black box marked with 'A' and 'D' is the battery, the lettering aiding the process of checking where they were and when they were due to be recharged. In order to increase the capacity of the electric trolley a small trailer could be hooked on as seen on the left above.
