Scan Spedition truck on the A137, crossing the London Norwich mainline at Manningtree before the line was electrified. The truck is en-route to Harwich docks where it will board a ferry to its Denmark base. The vehicle must have been a regular visitor as it carries both Danish and UK registrations (the latter may be that of the trailer). Along with the Danish Flag, the truck carries its TIR badge indicating that it is a sealed vehicle and that minimal customs checks will be required - thus speeding its journey. See Wikipedia for further info on TIR.
