A stiff clutch is going to make a shunter a royal PITA

You are being looked after with the BRS photo,s Jakey.
I believe the Redfearn Glass scania is a BRS Barnsley contract motor and i remember going in Trevor Morris of Oswestry,s yard late 70,s.
I am sure it had railway track laid through it?

One for “240 Gardner” P & O Coastal Roadways ERF. I see “moomooland” is in the background hammering
his Ford D series Remploy draw-bar down the road.0
Well spotted Dean that’s the closest we have come to Paul getting a shot of a Remploy draw-bar.
Taken between 1977 and 1980 it would have been heading to South Wales to Remploy’s Merthyr Tydfil or Neath factories to collect tubular furniture.Thought you might like that one Paul ! You never know one may turn up chap.
Chris Webb:
That’s a nice photo of a Coastal Roadways ERF,possibly working out of BP Chemicals Baglan Bay.Can’t make out the Hazchem code but could be Styrene or Vinyl Acetate.Coastal and Wincanton were big players in BP as well as Calor Transport.I notice it has an Ipswich reg plate.Thanks for the info Chris.
gingerfold:
Yes an absolute tragedy, sympathies extended to the victims and their families.I remember the early 1970s and there were concerns raised about road bridges constructed on the box girder system, common on UK motorways. If I remember correctly I think that some bridges had to be strengthened. When all the controversy was at its height I went out to an AEC mercury artic one evening that had run out of fuel just a few miles short of its home depot at Bolton. He was stranded on the box girder bridge on the then M62 (now M60) that crosses the A580 East Lancs Road. As I was putting 10 gallons of diesel in the tank the vibration on the bridge when another lorry went past was very noticeable. I go over that bridge twice a day and it is still standing, albeit carrying much more, and heavier, traffic than it was doing 40 odd years ago.
I was reading about this yesterday and apparently 9 bridges in 5 years have collapsed in Italy !!!
Apparently alot of the bridges,viaducts and tunnels were built in the 50s and 60s so an awful lot will either
want serious repairs or rebuilding. Anyone who has driven through Italy will know just how many bridges,tunnels
and raised section on stilts that you drive along. It will cost billions not millions if they have to replace them.
The article also mentioned that the Mafia were heavily connected to the concrete business back then and they
would have cut corners with contracts to obviously make more money.I would imagine that most European countries have instructed that all bridges like these are checked more
often to ensure it does not happen again after this.Ray Smyth:
Anyone recognise the FIAT ■■ Something truck hire ■■?The Crewe School of Motoring vehicle has seen the life ? Is it a Bedford ■■

Chris Webb:
Morning Dean.
The Maggie Deutz could well be one of Curries of Dumfries.
Possibly Chris !
HRS:
Good morning Dean,
Oldacre services was (could still be) an amimal feed business in Bishops Cleeve, noth of Cheltenham.
The owner started the Merc dealer in Swindon expanding to two other outlets.
Mike Mudie (an old friend) was the sales director and Richard Bond the general manager.
When he sold it off, Mike and Richard bought the Worcester branch and it became, Mudie Bond Worcester.
The old grey cells still working, however useless the information. Harvey
Thanks for the details about Oldacre’s Harvey, heres a couple more of there motors.

Can you imagine the chaos thats going to cause in Italy as its one of the main roads down.
The road from Turin to Bologna will be heaving as everything will have to go that way including
all the traffic coming down via Nice.You can still cut across from the A26,via Allesandria as usual,to the A7 at Pedrosa then the A12 which by passes Genoa.I’ve actually used that route myself and then go back westbound on the SS1 to get to the ferry terminal sometimes if I’m going to get there at the wrong time of day and hit all the traffic on the A10.
There are ways around it Carryfast but its gonna be chaos with the extra traffic. I wonder how many years
it will take to rebuild that bridge ?

Will do MT once Paul has finished editing them .Paul does an awful lot of work behind the scenes as some
of the photos are in bad shape and he somehow manages to get them looking really good. I know he was
editing for 8 hours yesterday. 
This fella had the right idea about driving to Czechoslovakia back in 1969.

Hi MT,
Yes unit super heaters were in the strand but alas no more…Yes WG Davies and George Beer also hauled out of there back in its hay day.
Morris Bros had if my memory is right four Fiat units …the one you mention CLL960T was an X Demonstrator hence not being Swansea reg. …the others were new to Morris Bros with Swansea reg.

Have done it myself in the past Dean it’s a very time consuming job which takes ages scanning,downloading, restoring, cropping, editing, filing, then he will obviously have to send them over to you via emails and before you know it the day has gone. 
He’s done a great job though bringing back so many memories and sharing his pictures of motors most of us thought we would never see again
