Cheers Stu.
In answer to yer question, no I’m afraid not. The olde grey matter was never that good even back then! 
Have found this pic of some plant that worked at Stewartby landfill that took the 20’ bins off the train that came up from the waste transfer station just off the North Circular at the bottom of the M1. If I remember rightly, it took 4 lorries 4 round trips to cover the train when it didn’t run. Only allowed to carry one loaded bin but took two empties back to Cricklewood…don’t think either train at both ends ever could get fully discharged. Trying to think who the haulier was from Maulden/Clophill way was who had the job.
Ironically I ended up down Felixstowe docks and started off working ( Well, I clocked in and looked busy… 
) on the rail terminals.

Definitely a lot more than 4 lorries Poikey, I used to tip in L field daily, those trains were very long and sometimes 2 per day.

Here’s a photo of one of the trains Poikey, H.A. Boyce used to run a few for Shanks but they weren’t the only ones, I’m racking my brains to try and remember who else used to do it.
Poikey:
Certainly don’t doubt it was more than four lorries, it was many year’s ago!! Having worked in recent years with freight train’s here in Felixstowe they are quite a length.
Vosper or a similar name seems to ring a bell.
Oh. and talking of Stewartby LBC at one point also had it’s own fleet of buses running services for it’s workers.
That name does ring a bell but I used to deliver to Vospers on the south coast so might be why, only other name slightly out of the norm I can think of was Joyner’s but I can only remember them with their own bulk trailers.
Just found another photo of one of Banks. Nmp,
It was Vosper, my dad drove for him for a while in the colours of A.J. Bull (Mitcham) - probably loading out of Chelsea in the pics
A few more pics from the old days… probably wouldn’t get away with this these days…
One of Graham Stringers here, my mate Paul drove for them for a while…
Flitwick, was it JS Auker?, they are still going
Ron Hart had some nice lorries, Martyn Sharp used to Drive for him before he worked for Cole’s with me dad
Did Amorco pick up work/vehicles after the demise of Rogers?
Just found this link to Flickr for Ron Hart Motors, some good pics!

Yes Aukers are from Flitwick, right next to the railway line. A few photos, nmp.
Poikey:
They may have done, I left the area many years ago so lost track with who done what.
Looks like a Gringo Stringer ERF E10 in one of them pics. If it’s the one I’m thinking of it went onto to Dave Holmes and I ended up driving it.
Found one photo of one of Stringers Poikey courtesy of Grant Sharlene.
This gem is off the internet, I’ve never seen this photo before. I counted around 100 motors visible in this shot!

Yes received it and have replied to you, sorry for the delay but working in my house getting a room ready for my son in law to plaster tomorrow.
Photo of one of Lowe Brothers from Bedford, also had a depot in Birmingham, not sure if there was some sort of connection with K&D Transport as I used to see some of their motors parked with K&D’s.
Nmp.
