Rivercider Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 My photos were only taken between 1980-86 when Enparts stores was being received at least by Bath Road and Cardiff Canton. It was conveyed in air braked vans (VCAs) on Speedlink services, from Swindon and Derby Works. Prior to that former parcel vans had been used (syphons and fruit D(?) for example). After the decline for the Speedlink network around 1989/90 I assume stores mostly came by road cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenw Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The withdrawal of Speedlink services ('91?) effectively ended rail delivery of parts / fuel to depots, as they were left without services to run on, depots then having virtually no option but to use road transport Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
