Hello to all who are interested in Burn Bros Barton, I am also looking for photos of these wagons as my dad worked for them for 22 years as a driver then in the garage, I would be interested in any photos if any one has any and yes they did have a monkey , Jacko was his name, a real character.

Does anyone out there have any information , photographs etc , regarding this operator who ran a fleet of very nice Fodens and other makes on night trunks to the Glasgow area , I believe they also ran a fleet of coaches , are they still in business ? all information would be interesting .Ive seen some of their old motors on a video somewhere but I cant for my life think where it was or where I was shown It, Possible one of the Transpennine runs ■■?, & perhaps going over Shap ■■?, I will try & find out as I would enjoy seeing them again, Regards Larry.
Hi Lawrence Dunbar,
If its any help there is a dvd called, vintage commercial vehicls on the road volumes 1&2 , I got that via Heritage commercials lorry mag, there is a bit on foden 2 strokes and Burn bros is on that, I don’t know iff its still available, hope this is of help, trunker08
Hi, Trunker 08
Ive had a look on Ebay and there are some on there, could you describe the front cover as I wouldnt want to buy the wrong one
Thanks Davids 1600e
great picture lemonmouth, I’m having a go at guessing the date of the photo, judging by the mini metro in the background I’m gonna pop for 1985 which is a testament to Foden that this old girl is still working a shift despite being 21 years old
HI davids 1600e, here go’s!! it was free with Heritage Commercials, its in a brown cd cardboard holder, on the front on the left is a Leyland, brown in couler, with orange? wings, headbord says P.J.Boughy, on the right side is a brown Foden 8 legger tanker, with P G Thompson, on top of cab IE above wind screen.
I also have a “tape”!! of vintage commercial vehicles, volume 1, that has “foden and foden 2 strokes” on it including “Burns” much the same as dvd, cant remember how I got that, but address is…CMS VIDIOS, Rock House,Scotgate ,Stamford, Lincolshire, PE9 2YQ, tel,01780758224, or www.cmsvideos.com,
Hope this will help you, good luck , trunker08

We left Cleasby in 1956 and came to Aycliffe and i still live there now.
Its a bit of a small world, just after I got married we moved to Eppleby for 12 years thats just up the road from Cleasby.
