Hi Dave, Bag Wagons didn’t seem to have the overloading Prob we had on bulk, at s/hamton sometimes under then over, then it would be round the back blow some back,LOL"" not funny at the time? but nowt was perfect, Selby/ hull/ barry [blow it back driver] LOL"" you name em, all were similar if you could load on a w/brdg [brilliant] but that would be to easy, and Rotherham if you were over theer it were a n/mare blowin back, just some useless info ? Cheers Chris.
i don’t know who set the pipework up at rotherham chris , but they must have mislaid the plans and used a london underground map . it was rare for the tankers ( banging bob ) to blow a load without at least one blockage . i waited for the bang when he was sucking the blockage back . he was a noisy sod on nights but he knew his job and he wasn’t a dab sort . cheers , dave
