Brew Man Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I wonder if the Trunk service will be resurrected. That was so good, though I've probable saved a bundle since it went 😂 Edited March 12 by Brew Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I can imagine what some of the other model shops will have to say next time I speak to them!! That 'Hattons name' was very important during my childhood, originally being from Liverpool and having used the original Smithdown Road shop on many occasions - Dad parking opposite, then using the pedestrian crossing to cross over ...

Bulleidboy Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I'm not sure I would describe it as the "Hattons Brand"? What they have bought is the product database and expansive “Directory” system.. Rails will soon relaunch these services and will continue to update them with new information. A useful source of information.

RDS Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The Hattons pre-owned range cost me a fortune! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The general Hattons' website, and Hattons' themselves was superb and very helpful. I'm glad this database remains accessible and that it will be updated - strange move that it remains a Hattons' domain, unless they're expected to return .... ?? Al.

Brew Man Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 57 minutes ago, RDS said: The Hattons pre-owned range cost me a fortune! Yes me too. It was an excellent service though. You'd wonder why they had to close with the likes of you and me emptying our pockets to them on an almost daily basis 🤔. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have simply been easier to continue to host the existing domain rather than modify it to a new one. I am very glad that they're continuing the database. As already mentioned, I found the Hattons website very easy to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81F Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Perhaps we may see some more Hattons Genesis coaches beyond those already to be fulfilled by Rails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
