A short film from British Transport Films (BTF) about the national transport operator 'British Road Services' in Scotland.
Although many of the BTF films are on IMDb this one is missing.

A Fork Lift Truck and a narrow-gauge railway transporting concrete.



Anyone know why the green livery in addition to the normal red livery?

Green tractor-trailers are also seen as well as the green van. Was it for light parcels only in place of general heavy haulage?

IIRC the green livery belonged to BRS Parcels. The green artics would be used for inter-depot traffic, while the front door deliveries would be made by such vehicles as the celebrated Austin 'Noddy Van': http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C134143/
