They are in the livery of Stobarts because they company wanted to make the lorries availerable for international haulage too when they F1 is quiet.

As sir Patrick Moore said this weeks about the Germans the only good one is a dead one(check before deleting mods as that did happen) same applies with 99% of stobart drivers!!!

Hello everyone
Thankyou for Geoffo, Stansfield and everyone else who posted over the last couple of days. Many thanks all.
Geoffo, I think Y23 WSH is a new one on the fleet. I know it was up at MAN Carlisle the other week. And yes, it is run by Willie Stobbart
