johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-09-13 22:53	dsl wrote Colours look like British Railways?? I’m going out on a limb here but I have no recollection of BR using that type of vehicle. The Ford trucks used, certainly round the LMR area, were D Series cab overs, and my craggy old brain is suggesting that they were yellow by then. Prior to those were some bonneted Thames ET vehicles, in maroon and cream, and Karrier with small wheels for parcels traffic. There were also one or two Morris-Commercial LCs in van form round here. -- Last edit: 2022-09-13 22:56:52
