Another cold day, I'd decided that the promise of a bright morning would see me head down to Stobarts inland multi modal port at Widnes, this also gave me a chance of looking at the latest progress on the Mersey second crossing works at Runcorn/M56 junction. It was very busy at Stobarts, obviously no hassle, never is at this the heart of Stobart fan land. With scenes taken early in the day something I couldn't usually manage whilst still in paid employment i can catch the busiest times and there is frantic Stobart trucking action most of the time with about 80% of the vehicles appearing in our new film all from the Stobart fleet. Now there are plenty of 15 reg lorries about although there isn't a huge variety really not like up at Carlisle. There is so much left for me to cover, so many places I didn't get to in 2015 that 2016 is surely going to see a bumper harvest of PMP truck films. The New Year will see our first overseas visit of 2016 to Colombia which is bound to produce an amazing haul of trucking delights. Whilst out this morning I picked up the fresh Manchester bus prints from ADS, there are thousands of pictures all at 50p each and will be on sale at the Boyle St Christmas Cracker event the weekend after next. This is usually one of our biggest and best events of the bus year so please try and get along to say hello. With each passing year the rally calendar for PMP shrinks in the UK as we take on events further afield anmd lots of the venues are falling off in sales terms as the internet comes to dominate the business. Today is certainly no excfepting and already the work desk in the studio at Birchwood Drive isd awash with DVD order. It saw a couple of full mail sack leave this morning and today I've been getting DVD stock replaced so we've everything bang up to date once more in readiness for the Manchester Boyle St event. Lets have a look at some of the lorries we saw at Widnes this morning. Comments are closed.
