Tipping cream at Westbury.
This would have been Rolands on the Yorkshire Water job I think
Where would this one fit in the list?
Dieseldave, would you consider these to be of an IBC or a Portable Tank?

TBH Malc, they look a bit big to be IBCs, but I’d have to see what’s written on the plates.
The photo seems to date from before vehicle markings were required, and they seem to have detachable lids, so I think we’re going to struggle with this one. 
Thinking a bit more about this, we can’t even be sure that there’s dangerous goods inside those receptacles.

Apparently it is Liquid Aluminium which is carried above 660ºC so I imagine it would now need an elevated temperature label at least 
I have answered my own question, they are molten liquid crucibles.

Thanks for that Malc, I was struggling to know what those things on the trailer are.
I’ve had a think about classifying molten aluminium, and I make it the first of the two entries for UN 3257, which specifically includes molten metals at the temperature you gave…
The ET placards are defo needed.
Quick question does anybody know why that downtown motor is carrying that tanker? Are they moving onto those now aswell as curtains and walking floors?

Yes … deffo printing ink … used to have 2 wagons on it … loading from Holland … I’ve shipped on Stena from Harwich with them when I used to do “Dutch Flower Job” going back a few years … but I assume still doing it.
Congestion as fuel tanker overturns
Motorists have endured severe congestion after a section of a major A road had to be closed following a serious accident.
An overturned fuel tanker and a subsequent fuel spillage meant the A14 in Cambridgeshire was closed in both directions between junction 21 at Brampton Hut west of Huntingdon and junction 13 at Thrapston east of Kettering.
There were long delays as diversions were put in place following the accident, which happened a little before 6.30am.
Cambridgeshire firefighters said a substance was leaking from the overturned tanker.
They found the driver was already out of his vehicle. He was taken to hospital but his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
Fire crews stopped the leaking liquid from entering drains. The Environment Agency were also at the scene.
Motorists were being advised to avoid the area.
The East of England Ambulance Service said it was called at 6.20am and sent seven ambulances including three from its specialist hazardous area response team. The tanker driver suffered a head injury, a spokesman said.
He added: "All emergency crews worked very well in difficult circumstances as potentially harmful chemicals were leaking from the tanker.
“Crews treated a man in his 40s with a non-serious head injury and transport him to Hinchingbrooke Hospital for further treatment.”
Colas Warrington last week, a mixed fleet, well kept, they always look tidy
