(Not possible to run new ERFs at all anymore Jim) They stopped when they sold Harwoods. Now run Ivecos on Contract hire from Hendys.
I believe the Mercs are all Derby based vehicles.

Hi Jim you are right I actually lived a little way away from that pic of Bob’s Scania 140 in Empress Rd our house virtually backed on to Sea Route Ferry’s Yard

This pic of my old AEC Mercury was taken in the corner of Sea Route’s yard our house was two away from the Holt’s shed you can see at the back
