Last month for the GBRf Contract, over to DB Cargo from April. Did meet a nice driver (Paul Aspinall calls him Hulk Hogan) on the steel run over the last few months, had some good brief chats while he was waiting on the light to get clearance up to Pen Y Ffordd. Shame hes not carrying on with DB Cargo as hes retiring. So if your reading this section (Happy and Healthy Retirement) 👍
