Welcome to Transport News Online and this month's news leads

News about the broad spectrum of road transportation in the north with particular emphasis on new vehicle developments within companies, plus the people involved in all aspects of the transport industry, both sides of the border.

Transport News is distributed individually to the transport buyers in major Scottish and north of England companies and commercial vehicle stockists by direct paid subscription. Also available at newsagents and truckstops throughout the north of Britain.

Transport News prints test reports on new vehicles and offers classified advertising space to sell old ones. Developments within companies are also reported and the personalities featured.

Transport News gets right to the heart of the haulage industry in Scotland and the north of England, offering almost blanket coverage in this sizable area, noted for its high 'horespower to weight' truck specifications.
