Strange sight in Thurrock - PRT?
"John Rowland" wrote in message ... wrote in message oups.com... John Rowland wrote: 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. Brian |
