Stobart sells automotive to BCA

I posted a thread a few days back, about Stobart selling their entire automotive to BCA and it was deleted, not sure why. This is common knowledge and in the public domain.

Is TnUK protecting a party here and has an ulterior motive we don’t know about? Surely not……

Isnt it the guide that you must have proof so post a link up to the ‘story’ or its just hearsay.

link = thread stays

How this for a link.

Old news only allowed here? How can they run their magazine then, wait for others to break the news then publish it a week later? What the heck.

It was sold on Tuesday, I tried to post it here but it was promptly deleted. If the mods bothered to venture out of their office every once in a while they could actually experience what goes on in the real world and improve their magazine and website

So was it deleted because the news wasn’t a week old yet, hence has no value here, only after the fact rehashing can be posted or is it that they have an interest in either party?

I had better not post about the depots they closed or the contracts they are losing then……

Next time someone posts a bridge strike or a picture of an accident, better wait until the mainstream media picks it up, they don’t want any breaking up to date news here……

Shall we go back to bashing cyclists and immigrants?

Was it the mention of Bca recently being sold?

D-ya not?:

That link is only 10hrs old, the OP said he posted this news a few days ago. I’ve had a look for a link from a few days ago from a reputable source and there is none to be found anywhere. So I suggest the op gets off his high horse and accepts the rules of tnuk where correct this time around.

Someone on here posted that citylink where about to go bust 4 weeks before it happened or was announced. A guy on here knew 4 weeks before the staff for christsake.

I agree with the trucknet rule on gossip it can be deeply damaging if it isn’t correct.

But the OP got it right .

Trucknet are a bit slow on the uptake when it comes to stories. When it was posted the other day I googled it and found a reputable source that had the story, did the mods not do the same? Here’s it is am-online.com/news/supplier- … pectations

It was removed because unless you can post a verifiable link it’s just rumour, which can be damaging to both companies and drivers !

So why didn’t you post the link in the relevant thread ? Would have saved the thread being removed while it was reviewed :unamused:

Doesn’t sound like a terrible idea.

What about just bashing the mods :smiling_imp: :smiling_imp:
Although this is based on my personal opinion and in is in no way associated with any rumour or RDC fact :laughing: :laughing:

I didn’t post the link because I didn’t expect the thread to be removed because the story was genuine.

Just to correct one thing, it’s not the ‘entire’ automative transport that’s been sold off to BCA, it’s only the UK side. Stobart will keep the European work.
