    Rebuilding bridges for larger container sizes

    Yes, I worked for DHL for 8 years and now work for Goldstar and 45 foot boxes are rare but not unknown (and not only used by Maersk).

    Rebuilding bridges for larger container sizes

    That might be news to all the hauliers who routinely carry these containers. They're also slightly narrower than the EU style ones so I'm not sure what your source is for them not being road legal. Edit: Found one! It appears that nobody will bother about 81mm.

    Bournemouth to Leeds and return

    Bournemouth to Leeds and return

    I have a friend who would like to get to Leeds from Bournemouth to do a bit of family research. The dates aren't fixed but it would be something like travelling up on the 10th of August and back on the 12th. Two adults and he has a Network card.

    Bournemouth has a Europcar in the drop off area outside the upside.
