Can anyone tell me if the Fiat factory and the docks at Citavecchia have their own rail lines or do the cars need to be put transported elsewhere first?

Surprising that you never experienced the ferrous dust on BL cars, as normal route to Scotland would be by rail. Brake fluid leaks from upper cars onto the lower ones on transporters was sometimes an issue too.
Well, Portland Bill, perhaps I should rephrase my statement to say "I never noticed it-------" The larger garage I worked in was "Halls of Musselburgh" long gone and the smaller one was "Lothian Motors Dalkeith" also long gone although I think the family still own a garage to the south of Edinburgh somewhere. I was very much a humble grease monkey in both establishments doing general service and repair tasks. I had nothing to do with body repair or car sales and little to do with new car preparation, PDI's etc. So perhaps that explains it? I still occassionally see a chap I knew from those days, must ask him if he encountered it. Brake fluid leaks would be a nasty one too and there'd be plenty of time for that to happen all the way to us up here! 'fraid I don't have any particular memory of that problem either. Oh dear, is this proof of advancing senility?Surprising that you never experienced the ferrous dust on BL cars, as normal route to Scotland would be by rail.
