Fairbourne Dune Fire 26th June 2018
มุมมอง 5256 ปีที่แล้ว
Fairbourne dunes on fire. Apparently, an ember from the steam train set fire to the very dry grass of the dunes. Filmed from the Barmouth side of the channel

Train maneuvering through Barmouth high street on its way to Cardiff via Bala and Llangollen. The guy walking behind the trailer has control of the back wheels to help turn in smaller areas. The skill of all the drivers was impressive. The train wasn't broken, it was just trapped the wrong side of Barmouth Bridge which was closed to trains at the time following a fire
where and how did they craine these onto trucks
These streets are a piece of cake for this driver.... you orta see him drive down the allelys 😂🏴 plus he gets the train there quicker than if it was on rails
Is it worth the stress?
Mieow
These trains make a noise cause they’re being pulled
New meaning to rail replacement service
Any wonder the trains are always late if they're getting a piggy back on a truck ?
Years ago the guy steering the back wheels would have been standing on the back of the trailer operating a manual steering wheel directly connected to the wheels. It would have been a tough job. Nowadays it's all electronics and advanced hydraulic systems. Easy peasy.
I wonder how much that operation cost. It wouldn't have been cheap. Probably many thousands of pounds. Might have been more cost-effective to just leave it stranded until the bridge got fixed.
Well trained drivers
Why is the first one Cat 3 and the second Cat 2? It's the same load on the same vehicles.
Same load of circa 40t, different tractors and trailers which could have made the first outfit close to the 85t limit for STGO 2.
There are some amazing drivers around.
Hope they let the passengers off first.
The second truck had a better approach to the first corner. What do they do with those carriages?
The train had been isolated from the main rail network by track damage, Allelys were bypassing the damaged track and returning the train to the network.
I don't know, you wait for ages and then two of the buggers turn up!
suprising how long these 158 units are on the road...dont look so long on tracks. like how the first one has red lights on lol
You'll be surprised how much space there is when you just keep your foot flat on the throttle. Even buildings move out of the way for you.
Should be made to stick to motorways not little village streets
why would such a tractor unit require more amber lights than an emergency vehicle has blue emergency lights?
Why didn’t they put them on the tracks instead where trains are meant to live 😂
Good team work ! Keep em rolling guys.
Bus replacement service
I think that, that’s taking the idea of a replacement bus service just a little too far!
BREAKING NEWS! TRAIN EXPERIENCES THE ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!
Amazing
First driver kept unit off kerbs....well done.
Two different trailers and unit configuration .first is modular a lot more lock .second is longer wheel base on trailer and less lock on steering
Iwona would be proud of them.🇬🇧
A real 'road' train!!!!! Or a tram!!!!!
There wasn't a fire on Barmouth Bridge at all. The carriages had to be moved via road from Barmouth due to rolling stock shortage following serious trackbed ballast wash out further along the coast at Towyn after a storm in early January 2014.
THE BEST DRIVER IN THIS PLANET THANK YOU
well You can tell did not get the drivers incense in usa....lol...great jobs guys
Is that the replacement trains for the bus service
Beautiful~
So much for getting to work on time
That truck driver is prob on half the salary of a train driver.
Top tip for those people who spent more time writing "why take them by road???!!" than reading the sub-100 word explanation about why they were taken by road; try reading the explanation about why they were taken by road.
It is actually cheaper to send them by road than run them on the railway??? Fact!
Reinforced paving slabs, interesting. I think other councils should find where they are made because there's loads around that get broken by cars mounting the pavements all over the place.

Simple question????? Y didnt they take it by rail??????
The coastal line had been damaged by a storm surge, as had the trains, see the second reply to sebofo's comment.
HAD ENOUGH TROUBLE TAKIN 23 FOOT TOURERY THROUGH IN THE SUMMER
Learn to drive then, I'm one of the locals who get coaches and /or double deckers round there all the time no problems,( until people like you come over)
@@Thecrazyvaclav 😂😂
Hats off to the truck drivers! Great job!
so the rails in the UK are so terrible now they have to use the roads.
I don't think there are many of these Perkins 158s left now, Northern have lost theirs and EMT don't have many left.
Are we mad? No don’t answer that. I know the answer. Ever thought about putting the train on a railway line to Barmouth? Oh I see it’s cheaper to put it on a wagon!!! This in a country that invented railways. We are screwed.
chorleyjeff Actually NO I didn’t know the line was blocked. Even so this is the sort of thing we would do. Only last week for example on the A66 at Hartburn on the outskirts of Stockton on Tees n abnormal load wagon was carrying a railway carriage and there was nothing wrong with the railway line running from Darlington to Teesside. So why on Earth a railway carriage was on the A66 is beyond me.
Smog Monster shut up.
EasyJet EU Rearrange these letters into a well known phrase UKFC FOF. Nothing constructive to say, just a complete bell end then aren’t you.
3:38 Glad that's not my bike parked that far out.. No arsehole annoying cyclists in drivers blind spot.. how refreshing..
Like to know who paid for all the cracked paths after
Rail replacement service?
Excellent driving, but one can't help thinking that the carriages could have been placed on the rails somewhere more convenient and hauled to Barmouth
What a gorgeous church on the left!
