Stanfield:
One here that Chris Webb may well remember.Leyland Clydesdale belonging to the Glass Glover Group of companys. transportphotos.com/road/photo/VS011500
Thanks for that John.That shed was based at Glass Glover’s Hitchin depot.We had XWG 196T at Maltby,it did Littlewoods store at Chesterfield daily,plus a warehouse run for the Burton on Trent store,a day shift run so I never had the pleasure of operating it so to speak,except when I was shunting on nights.I started a rumour that a drawbar coupling was going to be fitted on it…it wasn’t long before the shop steward was knocking on the TM’s door.
And it wasn’t long before the TM gave me a round of f***s for winding the shop steward up.
what’s all the fuss about the roadrunner on two wheels ■■ that was normal driving where i come from . the council never had to tarmac the roads , we just gave them a rubber coating , anon

did you check if the barlow’s dodge had a rack on the chassis for jerry cans of fuel john ? old barlow had all his motors fitted out like that , in fact the later model artic tanks had the trailer chassis boarded to carry fuel cans . cheers , dave

Hiya…i don’t know if this is the same chap driving this roadrunner. i saw a vidio at a commercial show
in the 80’s. the chap was from Italy and showing off his skills. at one time he had a fiat with a 40ft spread
axle tilt driving round a circuit with one side up in the air like with the leyland. pritty inpressive.
