Does anyone have any photos of Northern Ireland Trailers lorries at work?
They had a very distinctive livery of black and primrose yellow, and the logo on the cab doors showed the west coast of England and the east coast of Northern Ireland, and a zebra crossing across the Irish Sea with a Belisha beacon on each shore.
Latterly, the fleet was predominantly Atkinson with some ERFs and one solitary Leyland Marathon, although many Leylands were operated in earlier years.
There are a few surviving ex-N.I.T. motors, including my own Atkinson Rear Steer, but none have been returned to their original colours.
N.I.T. was merged with Ferrymasters (Ireland) in 1975 to form Pandoro, with operations at a new base in Fleetwood.
