Stoke depot is a former Irlam depot, used to do visitso n the regular, when it was irlams and the month that stobart’s started moving there units in there. But sadly all the trampers at Stoke-On-trent are being made redundant.

At this moment in time there is a great variety based at Stoke-On-Trent, from new Units to Drawbar’s and when i last visited stobarts were still using the old irlam shunter’s, all the red Daf XF’s in Irlam livery have been withdrawn by stobarts and most of the trailers are slowly going from the depot.

Here are some photos from my visit’s to Stoke.

These units are no longer in this livery. Tis unit pictured below and many others have been re-registered and are now based in Ireland.

No problem ■■■■■■■■ Gill And not that i know of as this depot is not a really a “warehouse based” depot its only got a garage and Office block, no warehouses on site. Although on occasions i have seen one or two Tesco Box vans trailers in there or Stobart/Tesco C/siders

they do tesco store deliverys mainly at xmas in the rush but do go in tesco litchfield alot all year round

I don’t get it. I thought the point of “spotting” was to brag to your anorak-wearing mates whenever you see something unique or rare? Stobart lorries all look the same and are so common that plenty of owner-ops have got an ex-Stobart of their own! [including me - believe me, it looks just like any other Volvo from inside!!!]
