Truck advertising British Railways London to Manchester train service in Watford Whitsun Carnival parade, St Albans Road, 1967
Watford's annual Whitsun Carnival parade, St Albans Road, Hertfordshire, England, UK, 1967, rear of a yellow Scammell 'Townsman' low-loader flatbed truck bearing the British Railways logo women with balloons promote British Railways London to Manchester train service, banner on side of truck states: Try our new trains and a journey time of 2 hours and 35 minutes. Above signs say: Faster, Cleaner by train. Scammell Lorries was a local Watford company and the company's distinctive 3 wheel low loaders were a common sight on British roads in the sixties. The Townsman replaced the famous Scarab in 1967 and the new model featured a glass fibre body to its cab. In front of the tuck is another vehicle in the procession promoting the Volunteer Emergency Service. Behind the truck a man holds a sign in front of a mini van with an illustration of a dog and the words: PDSA, Your help is needed - a vintage nineteen sixties photograph
