Some pictures taken round Leominster about 15 years ago.

Thanks for posting those cracking pics David. Clive Price is still running Scania’s. Pontrilas had a spell of running M A N’s, but seem to be all Volvo’s these days.
Cheers Dave.

I have had a look Trevor, and I don’t think I have a photo of it,or the Spanish Dodge. Clive and Russsell Price have had a lot of Scania’s and a Daf CF artic, but I can’t photo’s of anything else.
Cheers Dave.

These run quite a big fleet covering Wales and the Borders, seen on the A44 at Dunfield, near Kington.

I wonder how long it will be before we see a different name on these, seen on the A44 at Dunfield, near Kington.

Not sure Pete,that was a few years after I drove TK’s in the late 1960’s at 14 ton gross.I would think that one would be around the 11 ton gross.
