Today (Tuesday) at lunchtime I saw a car transporter at
the M25/A13 junction heading towards Tilbury. The cargo
was approximately 18 identical cabins, possibly for some
sort of PRT (personalised rapid transit). that either. Any clues?

I've occasionally seen the cabs for things like JCBs/similar
on the backs of car transporters - it wasn't those was it?

That was what they most resembled, thanks. I didn't know that JCB cabs
were seperable, and I still don't know why they would be!

So they can make them in one location then transport them for assembly.



Not so much for JCB, as they own their own plastic moulding plant in the
midlands, but possibly for Case (Doncaster) or New Holland (Essex)- we get
regular lorry-loads of them through the Tunnel from mainland Europe. It does
take quite a while to realise what they are, as they're nested together in
two layers on the trailers.
