Hello Geoffo,
Thanks for that infomation. I wonder if you could help me? Can you tell me when Stobarts bought the Former Leyland Bus Factory at Workington & why (I always thought it was bought for the Iggisund Contract, but some friend of mine told be it was bought because Stobarts wanted to replace their Penrith Depot?).
Also, why did Grahams at Carlisle store Volvo FL10s for Stobarts. I always thought they where Scania dealers?
Gaz, thanks for spotting that their is a 50/50 line up of Scanias 4 & R Series wagons.
Regards

is there a trucks named “eleanor ruth”?

Hello
Look akaday, Some people like me love Stobarts. The fact the thread has lasted is because people ARE interested in Eddie Stobarts. Long may this continue.

990% of the posts in here are you putting pics of the same truck up. and theres only about 3 or 4 other people on here who are bothered. there is a stobby spotters site use that. seeing the same old red and green is boring as hell…the only difference between the whole fleet of scannys is a name, same witht he volvos and any other truck they have. from a distance they all look the same ffs.
strange breed you stobbie spotters…but then again your ■■■■■■ friend and the midgit at crick prove my point.
oh and then theres Barry!
Hello truckers boy,
Yes, there is photos around of Stobarts timber, low loaders, tankers, container lorries, tippers and sometimes, if your lucky, a Stobart tanker with a Tesco Trailer (I’ll see if I can find some).
Flats were only owned by Stobarts in the Early Years and I would say only Eddie himself will have any photos of them.
In the past, I have seen Stobarts with Iggisund, Sunpride, UG, Daily Mirror & Metal Box trailers (some photos around).
Kind Regards

gogzy,
Whilst your opinion is perfectly valid, there’s a topic where you can express any concerns you have about whether the Stobby spotters posting pics in here should use “a stobby spotters site” :
Split from the Stobby spotter topic - FEEDBACK FORUM - Let Us Know! (INTERACTIVE) - Trucknet UK
Nobody is forcing you to even look at this topic. You do have a choice.
Hello dieseldave,
Thanks for remining gogzy that he does’t have to look a the thread if he doesn’t like what he sees.
Plus, for those TruckNet UK membeers who want to look at Stobart lorry photos, why, should they be stoped if they enjoy it?
Regards

Hello
Heres some more photos.
■■■■■■■■ Gill
I’m no fan of Stobart but nor do I have any other strong feelings about them. I don’t get people who come on to a Stobart thread and whinge. Just don’t look! Each to their own i say, live and let live. Anyhow here’s a pic!
■■■■■■■ rags at the ready Gill
What a lovely idea, although they may change their mind when all their fuel and camels go missing!
Hello Wheel Nut
Good joke, but true!!!
