his first vehicle which was a Ford truck, costing £210 and could carry 1500 cwt.
Really? 20 cwt = 1 ton
1500 cwt = 75 ton!

Berry's of Taunton was founded in 1920 and is still going strong, but having been nationalised in 1948 they changed from road haulage to passenger transport and now operate a modern fleet of coaches from a depot in Taunton, the company used to operate from the village of Bradford on Tone about 3 miles away. It is still a family business now run by the grandson of the founder.

Look out for us (I'm one of the drivers) on the M5 and M4, A 303 and M3 every day with our Volvo/Van Hool Astrobell double deckers on our London Superfast Service. Coaches are white with red design on them. We also operate all over the UK and into Europe.
