No. They have started using Stone fire station as a test station. Only for cat C and D and B+E though. The reversing area is not long enough for C +E.
Have they closed the test centre at swynerton?
Yes at the end of March 2015

Ah right,not been down there since I passed my test in 2003…I remember there was talk of it closing back then.

Bargh’s have just bought a fair size plot of land in longton by the fire station used to be the old twyfords factory they are in the process of levelling it.The site at Longton is to replace the existing yard at Endon, supposed to be in there before the end of the year.
I’m starting work for them full time at the beginning of Sept doing the milk reloads on nights from the Endon yard, looking forward to the Longton depot though as it will be much more easy access than going through that Park Lane lol

Work seems to have stopped at the longton site,done virtually nothing since they took it over still a hell of a lot of clearing of neglected buildings to be done before they even start building anything,they won’t be in there this year that’s for sure!!
Was under the impression it was due to be opening in October by management, if its still a pile of rubble they need to get their fingers out then

This is how it looks at present and has done since they took it over…
I pass it everyday and nothing’s happening,unless they are waiting for planning permission or something.
FFS…
Looks like I’m going to be spending my entire bloody life at Endon then by the look of things

Actually I’ve told you wrong,they have made a start they put a sign up saying they had acquired the land 
They’re probably making out they are waiting for a skip and that’s why its taking so long!

I didn’t think Bassetts did continental work, they took over Berresfords but I’m not sure they did any of their European work.
Yes they did dabble in it. Only for a short while. This was at the same time as they started to buy Scanias and quite well specced trucks.
