HA -erERF-NGC-EUROPEAN,you new what you were resurrecting the old B.R.S. subject po at lest BEWICK and Buzzer have stuck to their views from years ago .Wheelnut thank you for the abridged version of the 1948 transport act…all the railways,19 canals 246 road haulage firms all under the British transport commission.:The road transport executive: were agents for the “central transport consultative committee”. Basically none of the ordinary workers whatever industry they were in, never stood a chance,so why would you, or even me, go and knock your nuts out for who, government ministers, whoo probably never did days manual in their lives…there is my answer to LAZY drivers…
also if yourself had been involved in a BRS DEPOT you would have done as you were told,at the interview with the manager " forget what you have done in the past you work as we say do asv your told and have a job for life with a pension… "once i had got the job i was never covered in cow [zb] again, nice blue overhauls.if going from 15+hours a day, to maybe 9or10 was rare, nice and clean clolthes, digs booked before you left the depot how bad was that.dbp.
If you want to shift cows, you need a good cowman, if your shifting pigs, employ a good pigman.
The question was asked what BRS would look like if it was reintroduced next year, my answer would be much the same as the last one.
From your 246 haulage firms BRS only wanted to keep 76 places open, they offered 149 depots including vehicles to other hauliers. It didn’t take the government long to realise their experiment was an abject failure.
You can apply here:
A booklet describing the arrangements was published on Wednesday. It is entitled
“Road Haulage Disposal in England and Wales,” and copies can be obtained from the
Road Haulage Disposal Board,
Clive House,
Petty France,
London, S.W.I,
or the
British Transport Commission,
222 Marylebone Road,
London, N.W.1.
I appreciate there was quite a lot of overlap as haulage company’s had built up where the work was, so having depots in Rotherhithe and Greenwich, Thornaby, Middlesbrough and Stockton could be understood. but the traffic in those areas were so different. Fruit. Timber, Chemicals. Steel. etc.
