Classic Trucks, Wagons

[Richard A Thackeray]

Thursday 24th

I just missed being held up for a white
(not that l’d have minded)

This Scania was just delivering old Lock-Gates (for patterns/measurements?)
to the ‘Stanley Ferry’ workshops where they’re made (about 200yards behind me)

Dash-cam still

I was heading north-east

If I'd known about this, I'd have gone when I finished work
(the 'Redbeck' isn't too far away)

All these trucks reminds me that when I lived in Bowling we got convoys of fuel tankers passing from the nearby Esso terminal.
We also had lots of chassis with only a drivers seat and no cab or bodywork out for a road test from the Albion works before final fitting out. They came west on the low road and returned by the higher dual carriageway commonly known as the Boulevard.

Somewhere, I have the badge that I rescued from an Albion Reiver that I rescued from a Reiver that was scrapped in our yard when I was young. I used to play in it before the scrap man took it. I love the rising sun badge.

I went to school on a yellow Albion bus

I thought about looking for the Albion factory when I passed through Scotstoun on the Sustrans cycle route a few years ago but have no idea if it actually still exists.

Albion has gone I think.
