Hi Back in about 1958-60 when i lived in Altrincham i used to get picked up at the end of the road by Brian Cowburn in his Merc Sports and taken to
Trafford Park, where i worked in the then new fibre glass body shop making the then new cabs for the Scammell units.
Was a good learning step into the transport world. Cowburns also owned a body building shop Cornbrook Wheelwright co.This was in Cornbrook near to the Mancunian Way.My Dad was the manager there untill it shut down in about 1976-7

I remember it well GOM,I used to have a look at it on the way to Manchester 0n the old A62, I aslo remember the traffic lights around there they, had pads on the road to operate them There was a Policeman who used to stand on the roadside at night & when you were giving full throttle to get a run up the pull he used to step out & stamp on the pad so they would go to red what a pain in the arse that was Regards Larry.

That last one's an ex-Nynas motor, probably R-reg though I can't match the fleetnumbers to the reg's any more

Just come across this picture of Shaws Leyland Octopus I remember my old man driving it from new out of total at leeds and fleet lane woodlesford.

This was based at Fleet Storage Woodlesford, they had 2 I believe this 1 pictured was Frank Maud and Brian Rhodes. Looking at the inside of the cab it as the new brown/tan interior, the other one had the original spec.

Hi Larry, your tale reminds me of hauling timber fro Dolgellau to Wigan in 1970. No M56 then, we used to go through Frodsham on the A 56. Heading back for Wales, having tipped at Riding & Andertons in Wigan dead on 5.00, there was a steep hill down to (I think) the river Weaver, followed by a sharp pull up the other side. Just after the river was a set of traffic lights. As I approached they turned to Amber. I took my foot off, then pushed it back down hard. The lights went to red the second before I crossed them.
Predictably a copper stood out in the road with his hand up. The usual bollocking followed, my eyes to the floor in humble apology. I always felt that they enjoyed their power over you, and despite the natural reaction of wanting to tell him where to shove his lights, I always grovelled!

It worked in this case and I didn't get a fine and endorsement. I was always a bit careful at those lights thereafter! Perhaps the old style of policing was better in many ways!

John.
