Thankyou for the picture Jakey,E593 LTC was driven by Clive Williams, aka the Mouse.He transfered from thorn contract in Cardiff.
The last week before christmas i tipped Aberdeen with this motor fri the 22nd of dec 89 after already done 2 londons and 3 drops Glasgow.
The British Coal deal in my opinion was political and the contract was given out because the end was near.
Lots of the 8 wheelers were on their last legs and cost a fortune to repair,but done me a favour.
When they recruited lots of experienced drivers declined the jobs when told if their truck fell into disrepair there was a chance of being laid off.
I took the bull by the horns and took a chance and always carried night out gear.
Up tower colliery 1 day there was a message to ring the yard,by the late evening i was in Ipswich and never looked back.
