Whatever became of Cardiff Transport, I remember them coming on to the docks at Blyth, they used to re-load there, most likley off Fergy, Regards Larry
Didn’t them and Blueline get taken over and become Carline.

I remember WT Smith well from when they ran out of a yard and workshop behind Walls at Maesglas. They used to carry a lot of neat orange juice in those tanks, had quite a few 3 series Scanias, Man’s then later on Volvo FH’s and a Sed Atk or two. They had the old Telford trucks bonneted Scania tow truck and a litlle white day cab Seddon Atki shunter.
