There’s still 1 Scania Drawbar knocking around Carlisle with the old colour scheme on it like that one, not sure why it’s survived so long and don’t have a name for it but see it quite regular!
Hello dew
Yes, there is. Actually, theres 2 based at Carlisle, both PX53 reg. After talking to a driver up their one day, they do Crown Haulage between Carlisle & Scotch Corner, where they unload onto a newer lorry, which takes them down to the drinks factories. But, like you, I’m not sure why they’re still in the fleet.
Kindest Regards

Hi CG.
Good pic of the Daf W&D’s. Interestingly enough In the picture I see nearest the camera M640 TAO. The last truck I had at Stobart’s was M638 TAO ‘Talitha’.

Hello dew & Geoffo,
Thankyou for your posts. Geoffo, I’ll see if I can find a photo of your old wagon. If I do, I’ll post it at the weekend.

Hello Geoffo,
Thanks for that infomation. Didn’t they also have a Ford Cargo Drawbar in the Metal Box livery??
■■■■■■■■ Gill
Hi ■■■■■■■■ Gill. Yes they did have a Ford Cargo in Metal box Livery.
BTW the pic of the ERF Olyimpic (N25 NRM) was an owner driver from the Penrith area & i think his surname was Glendinning. I remember when he bought It Brand new…
Anything to do with the red MAN’s of Alan Glendinning from Penrith? See them around a fair bit and pretty well turned out trucks.

Hello dew & classicman,
classicman, thankyou for those photos. Excelent marra! Where were they taken?
dew, Yes, Alan Glendining worked as a Stobart subbie in the 1990’s running DAF 95 XF’s & one Scania 113, but he now does subcontracting for Penrith’s other Stobart subbie, E Brewer. Alan Glending (I think) was a Curries of Dumfries subbie before he went to Stobart’s. He now runs 3 MAN TGX, 3 Volvo FH12 & 1 Scania 143. He also calls the lorries after girls (like Stobarts).
Kindest Regards

The line up of FL’s and an ERF were taken at BP Truckstop Rugby. When they first had a contract (Britvic I think ) working out of Magna Park, their Crick depot wasn’t open and they used the Truckstop for a short while as a temporary operating/parking centre. The Pepsi ERF was actually delivering a load of fence panels to our local Wickes.

Hello classsicman & phantom309
Thankyou for your posts. Classicman, thats a great photo. That lorry (I think) was based at Carlisle and was still in the fleet up until 2008.
phantom309, I cant personally remember the depot, but I’ll ask some Stobart marras for you.
Kindest Regards
