Morning Dean.Bell Line drivers used to changeover at Symonds Yat in the 70s,they had marked out bays for parking.
I think Bevans of Newport was one of the main contractors for Bell Line at the Welsh end,not sure about Middlesborough.The ERF in the photo has a Cardiff reg.
Those ERFs were John Stephens from Newport They became dark blue with a white stripe when they came out of Bells and onto steel haulage
Another nice batch of photos Dean,thanks.A little story about a Scammell Trunker of Bird’s Eye Foods.
When I was on nights in late 60s I used to see a Bird’s Eye artic regular either south of the Blackwall Tunnel,in the tunnel or on Commercial Road.One night I followed one through the northbound and noticed bits of tunnel masonry falling around my AEC,so I kept back. When I got on Commercial Road I flashed him and he stopped. I told him what had happened and it dawned on the driver that his Trunker was higher than the AEC Mandator that he usually had.When we looked at the front n/s corner of the trailer there was a tiny bit of damage but nowt serious. 
The height limit is 4 meters according to Wiki but it used to be in old money and there were gantry type structures at the approach,if you couldn’t get under them then you couldn’t use the tunnel.So his fridge trailer can only have been a gnat’s too high - unless he ignored the warning.

Hi Dean, The Mansell Volvo is from Bogroll & Kitchen Roll manufacturer whose full title was
Mansell, Hunt, & Catty Ltd. Their factory was at Blackrod, just off the A6, between Bolton
and Chorley. I think, but I may be wrong, that this factory became part of the Fort Sterling
operation, they were also manufacturers of Bum Fodder.
Also, Thank you for the Warburton Transport picture, I will try and borrow it for the Wigan
Transport Companies thread. As ever, I am grateful for your input on this and other threads.
Kind Regards, Ray.
The red Foden six wheeler tipper will be ex Tarmac, not many other firms had them with the ■■■■■■■ V engine.

Wasn’t Carline an amalgamation of Blue Line Transport and Cardiff Transport. I remember them well in Sheffield area,in fact I think the late Johnny Trotter who used to be on here drove for them out of Sheffield.

Hi Chris,Cardiff transport bought out blue line and became carline ,car(diff) (blue) line Carlton Hobbs came up with it so hence the name I had h912 with Cardiff then again with carline then a scania ,they sold out to stiller so stiller could have their registration number in pt as stiller wasn’t registered in there so they had to go under stiller carline
