80a cars, 80s planes, 80s music. Does it get any better? 😍

Before VOSA and before the tacho-card menace arrived it was a lot freer in those days, but tougher graft. Mind you i think driver's mates were a more common thing in trucking in those days weren't they?

You'd be picked up by a jobsworth these days for this laid back approach.

Drive right passed my home town, the top oak was a great pub back in the day

I seem to remember the bus depot being built in the late 60s, was it named Daw Bank or something? There were still some of the Stockport Corporation Leyland Titan PD2s in red then in the SELNEC colours The Atlanteans were also introduced with the SELNEC colours, then later GM. It's great that you showed us inside the depot. There's no full view of the viaduct now, which has always been the focal point of the town. It's surprised me how much has and will be changed. I'm surprised that the Metrolink had not got through to the interchange, though. Many thanks for this video showing.

Amazing to see this. My first holiday abroad was in 1986 when I was 7yo. Flew on Orion to faro

I remember cycling down that 1 in 10 hill. I think its blocked off now.

02:36 BRS now that is a blast from the past remember seeing those trailers growing up with my grandad in the early 90s going round the country in his artic, the good old days man, good memories I’ll take to the grave. I always thought I’d be a lorry driver but nah under paid and over worked, no life, now every company wants you working away all week while your wife sits at home with the kids. My grandad for sure worked his bollocks off doing 13 to 16 hour days but he was home 3 or 4 days of the week.

Great vid. Any footage of T1 and T1A late 80’s / early 90’s? Thanks

👏🏽

Hii sir love from India

Collins and AZ street maps yippee

Haha the old frisby tacho

What a life it was.... across the water..... back again.CB radios... forget your tacho .... foreign truckstops... showers!..Lokeren in Holland.DAF or Transcontinental. Holland duck...all gone now 😭😭😭

Happier times before deregulation.

Love the old taachoes

Any pics or footage from oulton from mid to late 80's of a lotus esprit v8? Believe it was driven by Chris Crawford

I wonder how the new drivers of today would like driving pre taut liners,sat navs. I was in the office getting my keys and manifest a new driver one week experience came in complained "I'm not taking that thing out,it's not got a fridge. Oh diddums I said i been trucking for 25 years and had my fridge on my passenger seat. When i first started trucking i had a 22 year old Leyland not auto, splitter boxes, no radio, no auxiliary plugs, no night heater, using public phone boxes, roping & sheeting in ice cold wet weather oh the good old days.

Good old days before too much wire "safety" fencing! - Thank's for the re-edit!

😒 Promo`SM

Glad ive found this vid again

"Look ! That's Concorde !" "Is it ? - How can you tell ?"

There is a shrine to the air accident in 1985 besides the runway.

I doubt they would publish the details of a plane's airline, destination and departure time for anyone to look at these days.

Its shit & not worth it anymore. Too many rules & the mad man changing highway code so now we are the lowest of the low on the road, cpc shit forced on us by the eu criminals. Tok many dangerous arsholes on our roads. For gods sake don't ever think of driving hgv's in this shig assed country.

Soon be Friday 🖐️

Great vid - really gives an impression of what aviation used to be like

Were there any flights to the USA from Manchester during those years? *Edit:* 15:22 is my answer

Thanks guys for uploading this video, a fantastic watch! Made me feel nostalgic for times gone by.

Hello Steve with a soul 🍄

Beautiful camera

1986 was the first year we fl Flew to the USA. We flew British Airways from the new terminal gate on the day it opened.i think it was called the satellite gate but I could be wrong. Happy days.

Good times good lads sit wages ,fast trucks and no visa wnkers

Retired now with bad ticker ,i drove everything everywhere and boy did we laugh great nights out at regular haunts , I had a 2800 dad that wd do 85mph ,worked for s and w garages of Atherton I only had to pull up at traffic lights and the fuse would jump out on its own 🤫

What a great follow up Steve. I really loved your original 1986 video! I was born in 1986 but had a 10 year career at Manchester airport from 2005-2015 as a flight dispatcher. It is unreal how much it has changed especially since 1986 when you filmed it back then. I can't help but feel the airport has lost its charm and the feeling you once got when going there! You should of took a stroll down Ringway Road / Airport pub towards T3 where the old village of HeyHead once was with Fullaloves shop that was at the end of the old Woodhouse Lane. Again not recognisable today. Thanks again for the vid

Nice video!!

“Littered” Somehow doesn’t seem the correct word to describe the final resting places of these brave souls who sacrificed everything for us.

better than a sat nav a local with lane knowledge

now theres one of them magical things that shows you where to go but does not tell ya to turn left in 300 yards great to hear the CB chatter

This is absolutley fantastic!! What a great video of the years gone by

Believe it or not Harrison Ford was seen driving a canal boat a couple of months ago I don't know where though

I'd be surprised if the pub the Deansgate didn't reopen with all the money moving in but not as a pub probably wine or cocktail bar

nice one mate..more scrapers on the way..👍

Love hearing old people speak.

Myself 79 and still at and keen... My dream is The Job of Yesteryear with The Motors of Today. Let's All Keep On Trucking Along The Highway of Life.... Keep Em Lit Boys.!!!!
