Trucks of the United Kingdom

Image
  Trucks of the United Kingdom Trucks have a long history of being a vital component in logistics and haulage. Names like Eddie Stobart and British Road Services are known by almost everyone and have been important in their roles of providing haulage and/or logistics for many different customers. Within this post we will be taking a look at the history of Eddie Stobart and other hauliers. One of the most iconic names to operate on Britain's roads, with their distinctive livery and named tractor units. Many types of truck were used by Eddie Stobart including car transporters, curtain sided trailers, walking floor trailers and even transport for F1 racing cars.  Eddie Stobart was once a familiar sight across the United Kingdom. Eddie Stobart became a logistics company rather than the haulage company it was once known as after a series of takeovers.  Eddie Stobart vehicles were not always the familiar green, gold and red. The first vehicle purchased in 1960 was painted Post ...

About Me and My Interest in Transport

  About Me and My Interest in Transport My interest in transport began when my Grandparents bought me a Corgi Original Omnibus 1/76 scale model. As a result I became interested in local buses (Yellow Buses and Wilts & Dorset). As my collection grew, so did my interest. With an ambition to work for Yellow Buses I applied for an apprenticeship in the Engineering Department. Sadly, the apprenticeship was not to be; for reasons beyond my control. This did not stop my hobby and I worked to gain my driving licence with the ambition to drive buses. In 2019, my ambition became a reality with Salisbury Reds. I trained with them and achieved my Category D/D1 licence, one of the best days of my life. I worked at Salisbury Reds for a short while and moved on to a smaller local operator Southbourne Buses. This employment was primarily to operate the morning and afternoon S38 school route. This ran from Ferndown Victoria Road to Ringwood School via Heatherlands Estate, St Ives, Ashley Heath ...

The Way Forward With Modern Public Transport

  The Way Forward With Modern Public Transport An industry with little prospect, or an industry with maximum potential? Let's begin with the bus industry. An industry that has changed a lot over the years. Back when public transport commenced operation within Britain, it was just that - a service for the public without concentrating on maximising profit to satisfy CEO's or large companies. The majority of operators were municipally owned and were operated for the purpose of carrying passengers from one destination to another. Although the primary purpose of operating a public transport service has not changed, the focus has shifted from operating for the public; to operating to generate as much income as possible for the operator and parent company.  This is not a coincidence that this focus has changed since many operators are privately owned. With investment companies and larger international operators owning transport operators across the United Kingdom, the emphasis on pro...
