When you get an O-licence I think it automatically allows plod to engage whatever firm they like to drag your equipment around the country at your expense.

They do, they ask you if you have anybody and straight away say theyâll get theirs because they want it moved, you donât stand a chance, but for future reference Iâll ring mr bewick for his assistance with his flyin atki

Iâm not just sure Larry,there were so many over the years but this one was probably taken by one of the âTruck Comicsâ photographers who called at the depot now and again.Cheers Dennis.

Aye Larry,I had a Large Grouse and ice after dinner last night myself eh! regarding the photo though I was always more comfortable in my boilersuit and boots than in my âwhistleâ and shiny shoes 
However as the years went by the âwhistleâ had to be worn more and more 
The times I knackered shoes and suits with popping down the pits to look at summat,or got under a trailer for a âbutchersâ and at times jumping on a FLT in the yard 
The best times though were turning up at breakfast time at one of the Drivers âwatering holesâ either in my whistle and in the car or regularly in my boilersuit driving a motor,either way I always got a right âstuffingâ at the till,countless teas and usually a few breakfasts as well,didnât mind at all only trouble was,getting the brass back out of the petty cash tin,with no receipt,Anne had a firm rule âNo receipt No moneyâ,so I usually stood it out of âmy arse pocketâ eh! It wasnât worth the hassle Cheers Dennis.
Evening Dennis, as i have said on this thread before you have a great collection of photos and it makes for a great thread keep up the good work.Cheers Richard.

A weekend shot of the top end of the depot

This is a late '70âs shot I took of our wrecker sailing under J36 northbound on a Sunday with one of Smithâs of Whiteinch on suspended tow to Taits at Carlisle,our wrecker driver said the Atki flew over Shap with the fully freighted F88.
No need for power steering on that Atkinson -
