Effectively known to all the normal blog readers, right here she is on her final delivery to mainland Europe. Right after 9 years service and 987,000KM beneath her belt, GB05 STE is observed above delivering to a new French Connection shop in Grenoble, France. I don’t feel Steve Marsh could even start to function out the amount of instances he has driven GB05 over French soil but this the final trip was a good little run to finish a fairly glamour career. This last trip began from Marshy’s Warrington base, with a run down to Leicester for 2 pickups, on to Purfleet for a 3rd collection before heading to Dover and then onward to Grenoble and the delivery point. Once empty it was time for a leading up from the local Carre4 (see under),back up to Amiens to reload for Ellesmere Port, just a stones throw away from Warrington and house. A steady 2800KM later and the curtain was down on GB05’s European days. To say Steve and small MAN TGL have been some areas is virtually an understatement, obtaining 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 exactly where the captain parked his cruise ship on the rocks!
The days of Europe now over, there was still one more trip involving a ferry left to full. Start, Warrington, load Worcester for same day delivery to Belfast and Newtownards in Northern Ireland. A standard job for Steve and GB05 STE completed with no fuss, pretty effectively the identical given that she was registered back in November 2005.
Ultimately Steve produced 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 is an additional story!) but now she will be Steve’s new workhorse and GB05 is up for sale and obtainable to go to a new residence. If you have any genuine interest in purchasing Steve’s old steed then please e mail Steve marshy@stevemarshexpress.co.uk or you can leave a comment beneath with your phone quantity and I can pass it on. Not a lot much more to say other than I’m certain Steve will agree that GB05 has been a good truck in common and I’m certain Steve will be pleased if GB14 is as reliable. 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 given MAN trucks a lot of social media coverage as each the truck and Steve have created very a fan base right here on the weblog. IA weblog on GB14 STE will stick to quickly.
