Art of haulage

JAMES BOURLE'T and Sons are to start a regular specialist art transport service to link London with Paris, Zurich, Munich, Amsterdam and Brussels.

The service will use the company's own vehicles which will be controlled from a London centre with appointed agents in each of the other cities. Customers will be able to load at any of the cities served and get their goods delivered at any of them.

Documentation is to be arranged by the company from its Feltham, London, headquarters. The new service will specialise in secure, confidential haulage of fine art and antiques.

Fleet sales

APLIN Phillimore Associates are to hold a series of seminars on leasing and fleet sales in the UK. No dates or details have been announced but further particulars will be available from the company at Wardour Street, London Wl.

Lorry fire

EMERGENCY squads worked through the night to clear nitric acid that flooded a Hampshire motorway service station after the lorry carrying the acid caught fire.

Police evacuated the service station at Fleet on the M3, and a chemical disposal team from Southampton was called to deal with the mixture of acid and water that swamped the service station.

Al to East Coast

WORK is to start shortly on the latest section of the A45 to give a continuous 50-mile lorry route from the Al to the East Coast ports.

The latest section of the by-pass is a 3.75-mile section that will join the eastern end of the Cambridge Northern by-pass being built at Quy, west of the Newmarket bypass.
