Nice one Ian, 208ft long with a Volvo N cab and a speed of 20mph which I do not think is too bad for a load like that.

Given the Volvo N and only 75tonnes, I think it maybe could have gone faster. It's possible the speed was restricted to protect the trailer tyres.

Headed for Felixstowe it sounds like they were for export . . . (whatever they were).

(unless they were intended for the port itself)
