Effectively recognized to all the standard weblog readers, right here she is on her final delivery to mainland Europe. Soon after 9 years service and 987,000KM below her belt, GB05 STE is seen above delivering to a new French Connection shop in Grenoble, France. I don’t believe Steve Marsh could even start to perform out the quantity of occasions he has driven GB05 more than French soil but this the final trip was a good small run to finish a fairly glamour career. This final trip started from Marshy’s Warrington base, with a run down to Leicester for 2 pickups, on to Purfleet for a 3rd collection just before heading to Dover and then onward to Grenoble and the delivery point. Once empty it was time for a best up from the regional Carre4 (see below),back up to Amiens to reload for Ellesmere Port, just a stones throw away from Warrington and residence. A steady 2800KM later and the curtain was down on GB05′s European days. To say Steve and tiny MAN TGL have been some areas is virtually an understatement, possessing covered hundreds of thousands of miles together……..
Albania, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Rep, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Isle of Man, Italy, Luxembourg, Majorca, Malta, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Sardinia, Sicily, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Tenerife…….oh and the lsola del Giglio off the Italian Coast, you know the one where the captain parked his cruise ship on the rocks!
The days of Europe now over, there was still 1 much more trip involving a ferry left to full. Commence, Warrington, load Worcester for same day delivery to Belfast and Newtownards in Northern Ireland. A typical job for Steve and GB05 STE completed with no fuss, fairly properly the identical given that she was registered back in November 2005.
Ultimately Steve created the decision to update the ageing TGL for a newer Euro 6 version. It’s taken a year to put GB14 STE on the road (that’s one more story!) but now she will be Steve’s new workhorse and GB05 is up for sale and offered to go to a new home. If you have any genuine interest in purchasing Steve’s old steed then please email Steve marshy@stevemarshexpress.co.uk or you can leave a comment below with your phone quantity and I can pass it on. Not a lot much more to say other than I’m confident Steve will agree that GB05 has been a great truck in common and I’m positive Steve will be pleased if GB14 is as trus2rthy. I’d like to say a thank you to GB05 as it is the truck that got me and Marshy in touch and it is also the truck that have provided MAN trucks a lot of social media coverage as both the truck and Steve have created very a fan base right here on the blog. IA weblog on GB14 STE will adhere to soon.
