The Truck has an early St Helens registration DJ 8877 I wonder how it was Preston Based when there was a Depot in St Helens.

Thanks ever so much for posting this,i was watching because i'm a lorry driver and very much an enthusiast too but got a very pleasant surprise when the guys in the film drove through my home town of Chester!!,was amazing to see how it looked back then.

Notice how all the towns mentioned at the start were all in England?

@m648mvp i thought these were Albion trucks, are'nt they?

@amit79ful No, the big A stood for Atkinson. Albion had a kind of rising sun logo with the word 'albion' in it..
