Geest, there’s a name from the past, just after passing my class one and on agency work to start, I was shunting on the docks in Barry, round the clock, no drivers hours there, once the boat was in, it was straight off the boat into the fridge, keep the trailers coming until the boat was empty, trailers were then taken by the regular drivers wherever they were wanted. Nigh on 20 hours, got fed up of winding sodding legs that’s for sure, no air suspension to lift 'em up a bit to roll!

hi simon,

Excellent photos,i believe the brs daf was a ferry road Cardiff motor.
Of the 4 at bridgend MWS917 910R were last to be painted mustard yellow.I am just hoping for the 2 Buffalos to appear.
I never took photos of them Peu712 713R painted in the new colours.
