Posted: Sun Jun 24, 2012 5:10 pm Post subject: Spot my Eddie Sobart truck! |
|
|
A little bit of news that I find exciting but others probably won't...
After three years of being on the waiting list I finally got an Eddie Stobart truck named after me. We've just got to find out which depot the truck is based at now so that we can try and get a picture of it.
Sad yes, but it keeps me happy.
I'll include the truck details below so that if anyone sees it on their travels; is an Eddie Spotter and goes to the depots regularly; or even drives for them, they could take a photo and email it to me. I would be ever so grateful.
Name: LAURA KATHARINE
Registration: 12 D 20860
Fleet No: L7568
Make/Model: SCANIA G400 4X2 E5
Livery: ESL
Type: ARTIC
Commence Date: 2012-06-12
Status: In Service _________________ TomTom 730

And that's an Irish registration. Will that mean it only operates in Eire? _________________ Darren Griffin |

Oh, I hope not.
I thought that they might be using 'Registration' to mean something different than registration number plate as I didn't recognise the format, but you're right.
I have emailed Eddie Stobart to ask where the truck is based so hopefully they'll get back to me soon. _________________ TomTom 730

I saw my mates neice's truck - he posted a photo he took during a break for filming the Eddie Stobart TV programme. Mr Gareth Ayres, a mate of ours, was one of the drivers on the show and got Phoebe Grace named after his neice.

Wow thanks, dorsetwurzel - I'll definitely be downloading that app later!
That would be great if you could, Alix - I'd be ever so grateful.
Thanks, guys! _________________ TomTom 730

That's where the song says the girls are so pretty - you and I have met Bo Peep, so we can confirm the description fits, no joke. _________________ Dennis

Ah yes. Eddie Stobart.
If it wasn't for William and Tink, TrucknetUK's forum would have no discussions. |

No idea, I just know Phoebe Grace is his niece. I wasn't implying that it was *his* truck.
