Some depots had a problem with using sleeper cabs with union rules, at our depot after tramping with a big j and often having to kip over the bonnet, do you really think we chucked the beds out of 88’s
As early as 1980 we had reivers, clydesdales fitted with sleepers and proper night heaters (very rare at that time) not all the depots were stuck in the dark ages.

I saw a documentary on the 2 cousins of the Queen who were locked up in a mental hospital for 40 years. It showed one of the dormitories with a couple of dozen beds all crammed into one big room with no more than a foot or 2 between the beds.
I said to my wife, ‘oh look, a picture of Riggend café, can you believe that the unions once wanted us to spend our nights in digs like that rather than sleeper cabs? Guess which we chose.’

- The bridge has recently been rebuilt.
