my dad drove for these until they went bust in 82, i worked for the same transport manager in the 90s. you all know who he is!!! any stories pics etc would be good.
Was that T E Jones from Knockin in Shropshire,they had several Scania 111’s in yellow with red on them ?
Cheers Dave.
I seem to remember them having MAN’s and they also owned a fleet of coaches.

No pictures but went to their sale, I remember thinking they would have some tidy kit for sale , all that was there was a well worn 88 and trailers…guess the finance man had the good ones back, as they had a tidy fleet
