NORTH Western British Road Services must have picked a four-leaf clover when they gained a £3m contract from B&I Line last year.
For the Fleetwood to Dublin freight-only ro-ro service has grown so fast that BRS is developing its branch facilities at Fleetwood to cope with the traffic.
The new premises, which involve an initial investment of £50,000, will be near the planned major access road into the dock area and will become a potential growth point for other BRS business.
The service is expected to carry 10,000 trailers, on a door-to-door basis, in 1976. Work on the first phase of the branch extensions has already started and when completed later this month will add offices, maintenance fuelling services and large parking areas for vehicles and trailers.
