They’re OK going forward - but its easier with high sides to reverse. Love the blonde shotgun rider who has eaten all the chips.

Nice photos Bubbs.You are right about there not being many rigid Transcontis.Glass Glover had 6 for drawbar work on the Littlewoods contract,only kept them two years.This was mine,DWB 225V.The one in your photo is BWB 514T and was fleet number 153,based at our Ross on Wye depot when we first got it,then finished up at Maltby. I’ve driven it several times,nice to see it again. :smiley:
