A British Rail Scammell Townsman in 1967, photographed in bright yellow livery with the double-arrow emblem on the cab door and a flatbed load behind. The little three-wheeled mechanical horse looks especially striking set against the dark stone arches of the street behind, while at left a real horse and cart provides an extraordinary contrast between two very different forms of urban delivery working side by side. Details such as the registration JAR 937E, the amber beacon lights, the compact cab and the low flat platform all help root the vehicle firmly in the world of railway parcels and station-based road deliveries. It is a memorable scene, not just because of the unusual Scammell itself, but because the photograph catches a moment when older horse-drawn transport and modern British Rail handling equipment briefly shared the same street.
