hi john,
thanks mate,i am fine thank you,have you seen my sister-in law lately ?mike and nicky harris did drive for joints and several other firms.to be honest i didn’t know that barrow had 8 wheel tippers,am ashamed to say that i can’t remember them .can’t help but wonder whom they bought them off,those maggie’s were as you can see welsh registration’s.i do remember cyril barrow with a b series erf though.the 6 wheeler long wheelbase daf was,as i remember double drive? hi komatsu 450,are you sure that is your ec11?sorry ant.but i don’t think it is mate.
regards andrew.

Hi All,
Seasons Greetings to everyone,an excellent thread.

Can anyone remember A Hutchinson Transport from Cardiff I think they were in East Canal Wharf ?

Regards
Richard

Yes, I remember Hutchinsons. East canal wharf off bute street, then took over James Clarks depot in James Street about 1970, then moved to Dumballs road. Trunked from Cardiff to Newcastle every night with AEC Marshalls, and a couple of Mammoth Minor units. Local collection lorries were mainly BMC/Leyland. Finished about ten years ago I think.
