This is the most exiting thing to happen in Surrey since cat got stuck up a tree in Woking in 1954. What a day THAT was, the whole town was out, Mrs Fenemore made tea and scones for everyone. To top it all a fireman fell out the tree and ripped his bollocks on a branch but he still had a smile on his face.
oooooOh ! I thought you were talking of that time, when the firemen were on strike, and the''Green Goddesses' ( Military firetrucks) were used as stand-ins. Their first call was for a cat up a tree, they got the woman's cat down, they all had a nice cup of tea, waved goodbye, and ran over the woman's cat.
I remember the whole of Christchurch (Dorset) turned out one day to watch my mother-in-law navigate a roundabout. People still talk about it. She didn't manage it quite as quick as this guy, though. Coincidentally, she went the wrong way round it, too. They still clapped though. Still, she's in a home now....somewhere.
This is hilarious the crowds coming out like that. The editing at the start and the music made it look like an episode of CHiPs! Now if only the driver could've (accidentally of course...) rolled over a few glued Just Stop Oil protesters this video would've been perfect.
If you drive a truck for 10+ years i don’t think it’s any more pressure than a regular presentation for a group of people at work. It’s just about doing your thing while knowing that people are watching you.
Having used that road countless times when I worked in New Haw, when I saw that that is where this was filmed I really could not imagine something like this would be possible!
There's no way that those two police motorcycles could be classed as a 'Wide Load!' These riders need to have a lot more confidence in their abilities, as well as greater spatial awareness.
Takes me back. In the 50's-60's our farm bordered a transforming station (Super Grid to National Grid 300kv to 134kv at the time) and Pickfords were bringing in the transformers two tractors at the front . steerable boggies and a push/brake tractor at the rear. At 12 years old to sit in the lead Scammel and to feel the weight pulling you back despite the power was something I will not forget. I seem to think there was a larger one a few years after that had four tractors at the front and two at the back, moved early Sunday morning.
As a Canadian, I really enjoyed seeing the houses and businesses and the clean well kept streets. Interesting tat such a massive machine needs to wind its way through a residential area.
This will have been a pre planned route that had weeks of planning and would have been authorised with a traffic commisioner. The risk will have been calculated and planned for so it was perfectly safe
Used to work a few hundred yards from this roundabout back in the 60s, wasn't there then. In fact I also lived a couple of hundreds away, and walked this route every day for about 5 years.
I’m a saddo I loved watching that tv prog where they’d get big loads to move and would have to get places shut down etc it takes a lot of planning I loved it it’s a skill hats off mate
Surrey is a bedroom community for the rich they work in London and don’t interact with the locals. The locals meanwhile struggle and work hard for very little while the rich people snub them on the street. So it would be the less well off out seeing this as there is precious little else to do in Surrey but work your arse off for nothing in return. Don’t begrudge us a bit of interest in the day. The last excitement I had in Guildford was 25 years ago when the fire alarm went off in house of Fraser at 5pm just as people were leaving so all had to evacuate, turned out the sprinkler tanks emptied and flooded 4 levels inc running down the escalators so many of us stayed on to try to clean up while firemen swept water out of the carpets into the stairwell to try to get it out. Mopped water up with ruined £200 throws!! Fun times 🤨🤪
Not trying to sound prissy but I think its a marvellous work of art to transport something this vast through the streets. And to build it in the first place.
This suddenly appeared in my recommended tonight!! Often travel through Byfleet and New Haw, so watched in amusement! Everyone will be famous for five minutes - and this was most certainly the drivers turn. We used to live along a main road, where there would often be a heavy haul vehicle (carrying a couple of South West train carriages) passing through late eve. Used to excite my children no end when they were little - seeing a train outside their front door. 😁
Reminds me of my schooldays in late 40's watching Pickford's low-loaders turning corner by my school, taking locomotives from Vulcan foundry to Liverpool for shipment to India, China and other broad-guage railway customers.
As part of the New Haw 18/08 re-inactment group, I thank you for this document so we can be as accurate as possible. It is a sight when we all dress up as the Wide Load and struggle to cross the Roundabout
Where would we be without you active historians to keep our history & tradition alive and relevant for future generations. I thank you for your service.
Should of monochromed and scratched up the video and put on a Pathe newsreaders voice over in the vain of "And here comes the plucky British driver. Will he make that awfully tight turn? The crowd seem to think so! Well done that man!". Oh and kept the 1960's music. Excellent.
I was led here from the comments in another video. I live in Surrey so I wondered if it was anywhere I knew. This is in NewHaw literally 1 Mile from my house. Can't believe the people lined the streets to watch😂. Music is hilarious.
there's actually a music score with this vid. fantastic!! hahaha... driving a rig like these is , as a matter of fact, art! so why not music as well. great show!
you think wasting almost 9 minutes watching this was bad? How do you think they felt actually having to do it? Probably took longer than that 9 minutes.... and they couldn't fast forward either.
No! There really isn’t lol what there is, it’s expensive and pointless. At least the transformer was free entertainment. I bet most of those people on the street never met each other before that day too. Sad place Surrey, bedroom community for the rich.
I'd be really interested to know if you added that soundtrack to parody the whole event (aka - make it like an old tourist board promo), or it's intended to celebrate the occasion ?
This was some awesome and amazing driving. The co ordination between all parties was slick and professional. The people could have kept further back, typical ignorance about driving something this size. Very impressive, especially with all that pressure. I wonder if they considered moving the island and strengthening the road there!! Lol🤣 terrific driving. Good job everyone.
What wonderful uplifting music. I shall have it played at my funeral just before I meet a fiery end in the furnace. Look at the driver performing his manoeuvre in front of an audience, I bet he feels like bobby big bollocks. A very old car parked at the side of the road at the end. With all that weight, I find it surprising that the truck has to tow a spare vehicle along too... only joking - if that's still allowed.
With that music I was half expecting a cowboy to come cantering along the road (on his glistening horse) shouting yee-ha while waving his hat in the air above his head!
The 'spare' car transporter,is actually a 'cherry picker'It even has the facelift logo on it.They provide access platforms,for workers to get high,safely.You can clearly see the 'cage' for the workers.
I believe you yes it’s to lift the over head cables out of the way And the tree Surgeon there too to cut branches or clear debris fallen onto the road if any trees get damaged
"they provide access platforms,for workers to get high,safely." Rather sporting of the British don't you think. We here in Canada are just told not to come in to work and to sleep it off.
Well theres the one murican Cop who did handguff and arrest Fireman for not moving the firetruck at traffic accident scene.... Cops wont think always like they should
So, there is a roundabout but also traffic lights which defeats the purpose and thus makes the roundabout a unnecessary hindrance to large vehicles. Great success
2022. 30years ago I used to run through New Haw often but only in 19 or 26 tonne lorries. I find it amazing that in the intervening 26 years, nothing seems to have changed.
Nova Dusty I’m pretty sure by watching the video you can see his emergency lights activated therefore manoeuvres like the one in the video are allowed. Now this particular police car may or may not have been assisting with this but either way it doesn’t matter. It was done fairly safely and was done legally.
@@BaziwizZy emergency lights are to be used only in an emergency. He is clearly not attending an emergency as he had time to stop and chat to his colleagues. The manoeuvre was dangerous and unnecessary and to then stop abruptly in front of the car he had just overtaken made it even more unacceptable
Steven Günter yeah was gonna say pretty much the same as you! You can also see him pointing forward which suggests he was seeing if he was okay to go forward. He could have been going to a fatal rtc for all you know Anonymous European driver. Also the manoeuvre wasn’t dangerous. It was controlled, he didn’t crash, also, police officers get countless hours of extensive blue light training which can make them far better drivers than the majority of other members of public
The fact that all of those people turned up to watch this makes me think they knew this was happening, like it's some kind of event. Lenry: "Ooh, are you going to watch that lorry go down the road? Nichael: "what day is that happening?" Bonby: "2 weeks on Thursday!"
I was there and only watched this video to see if I could be seen in it... and yes, I can... So whoooopie. More people turned out to see this transformer than would have turned out to see the Queen. Although the guy who made this video has murdered the experience with his version of lift music.
II was born in 1933 and lived in New Haw until1946. I lived on this road, Woodham Lane #261. What memories. I worked in the fish and chip store just down from the Black Prince.
Too bad the camera was not only in completely the wrong location, but also focused on the truck instead of the interesting part, the trailer(s) with the load being maneuvered around the roundabout. Interesting topic, but sadly missed the opportunity completely.
Strangely enough the police wouldn't let me stand in the right place. I said to them Paul and SE said I could. The police said "who are they and what the fuck do they know about it anyway" I had to agree with them to be honest.

I lold so hard...

Sat here laughing at the people that came to watch this, then remembered I just sat here and watched this.
Orchideous lol
It’s one thing to watch it on your phone but it’s another to actually go there on the day to watch it in person. Each to their own though at

This so thrilling. I had to go and make a cuppa and get a biscuit. Cracking news item. 👏 👏👏

I'm still in therapy after witnessing that.
Lol made me titter that did
Proud to say ‘ i was there that day’! Ahhhhh,the memories!🤣🤣
Painful day that was.
i rem that
What a day, what a time to be alive. People were waiting out all night for a top spot. They still talk about it in local schools.
What a truly fantastic bit of driving. This was shown on BBC 1 on Sunday evening and the driver was nominated for Driver personality of the year
bit unfair since there were 3 drivers required in total
This is the kind truck driver I'm talking of. Professionally experienced.
Can I nominate the background music as the UK entrant in next year's Eurovision? The tension, passion, pathos, is unforgettable and beyond compare
No pressure on the driver. Whole town watching and cops waiting for him to get round it... Well done driver..
Wow! A ton of logistics went into that tractor/trailer ensemble and the man in red definitely earned his pay. Well done!
Why didn’t they announced this event early on national Television so the whole country could come and watch as usual.
As is tradition...
2021, in lockdown, at 4:49am, watching this. A new low. 🤣
How did you cope with the excitement. 🇬🇧👍
🤣🤣🤣 what’s next!?
2021, out of lockdown, at 05:37. New lows are yet to come!
Amazing video that fits perfectly with the music. What's going on with the Police car dramatically pulling in front of that Fiat Punto as well? 😂
Haha i was thinking the same. I initially thought it was to block the car from crossing the roundabout. Must have been a proud police moment for him 😂
I wondered that. I think the punto bumped him as well. Wtf 🤷♂️
Police mindset
What about 1:23 when the cop walks out in front of that big car and has to jump out the way and it beeps at him lmao 🤣
^ That's around 0:40, for anyone who's wondering
This is hilarious the crowds coming out like that. The editing at the start and the music made it look like an episode of CHiPs! Now if only the driver could've (accidentally of course...) rolled over a few glued Just Stop Oil protesters this video would've been perfect.
The driver must've felt like a celebrity with all those people watching.
Ha yes good one
The coppers were having a very nice day. So important.
Drivers (plural) - there were 3 of them. Front pulling driver, load trailer driver (in the cab at the end of the load), rear pushing driver.
And then the driver at the back be like "ooh no one noticed the second driver at the back"
No pressure 😫 lol 😭😂
AND NOW THE STORY WILL BE PASSED ON FROM ONE GENERATION TO ANOTHER
BIG respect to the truck driver- no pressure on him at all with all the ppl a'watching for any slip-up. Team-work in action!
I'm pretty sure the only reason most of them were there was to see him get stuck.
Or flatten the traffic lights. Of course thats why we were there.
If you drive a truck for 10+ years i don’t think it’s any more pressure than a regular presentation for a group of people at work. It’s just about doing your thing while knowing that people are watching you.
super hero. Hollywood will come knocking
Sure, that roundabout should be named with rhe drivers name and ornated with his bust.
That is so very tight and look how everyone is turning up to see the lorry negotiating around this roundabout
Absolutely fantastic. Such experts and professional transport. Well done. Just glad I wasn't in my car behind...
Having used that road countless times when I worked in New Haw, when I saw that that is where this was filmed I really could not imagine something like this would be possible!
There's no way that those two police motorcycles could be classed as a 'Wide Load!' These riders need to have a lot more confidence in their abilities, as well as greater spatial awareness.
and that patrol ve -hicle. I thought he was going to do a hand brake turn.. amazing how people react to a camera.
Maybe they're just too fat for the force.
Have you met a modern copper? Those signs are there due to them being forced to lower the acceptance standard for new recruits.
Lmfao 😅😅👍
caution "wide arse on bike".
And when it finally made it past, every cheered, then went home for a nice cup of tea. Cracking.
☕
Just a perfect day
Everybody said cheerio! Drink some more tea old chap!
And when he finally made it past, they all walked down the street to the 2nd roundabout down the road, with 4 more to go
Mm, yes, indEEed. *sip*
Look at the workmanship in that transformer! The whole thing is one of those moments when you wish you could say........" I was there that day"
Bravo au conducteur de tête, ainsi qu'à toute l'équipe qui collabore. Il faut vraiment être unis dans ce travail de précision.
Excellent !
I don't know what's more sad. The fact that half the population came out to watch. Or that it was recommended for me by TH-cam.
What's sad about an admiration of professionalism?
Rather watch this than drama tv shows
What's sad is you watched it on youtube and mocked those who saw it in person
you don't know till you look, besides, i thought the truck had smashed through a house, disappointing really
Both I would say
Sat Nav: "at the next roundabout, make a U-turn".
Well it beats the crowd turnout for the England team home coming in 2016
Peter Anthony Handball?

Absolute madness ensuing on the streets of Surrey that day. This is one crazy story the grandkids are going to be in awe over
All this video needs is that one guy from the crowd to stand in front of the truck pretending to help by giving the wrong hand signals 🤣
WTF is that music seriously transported back to the 70s such a shame
Fantastic operation organised by ALE . We saw them when they started their firm in Stafford. Now they're international. Well done chaps.
they're crap
Why is Surrey's entire population watching?
Why am I watching?
Learning about hooman behaviour? 🤔 lol
I think you mean feet not metres!
Tis the mystery of the event 😳 we're all mesmerised by its hypnotic power
They have nothing else to do.. or so I hear
Well. This is peak TH-cam. It can't possibly get better than this
Awesome work lorry driver and all the team. Have to have enormous patience for this work
As a Canadian, I really enjoyed seeing the houses and businesses and the clean well kept streets. Interesting tat such a massive machine needs to wind its way through a residential area.
That’s one of the nicer parts of the U.K. You should see some parts of Birmingham😳😳😳
It’s literally ALL residential for miles around so no choice really to get that equipment where it was required
rural area, no other road.
Reminds me of the French village that, every month or so, gets a plane wing driven down its main street, missing buildings by inches.
This will have been a pre planned route that had weeks of planning and would have been authorised with a traffic commisioner. The risk will have been calculated and planned for so it was perfectly safe

The things I end up watching on TH-cam in the early hours of the morning! Lol!
I was there that day and It was one of the best days of my life, my friend Sam snuck onto the back of the truck and we never saw him again.
I’m a saddo I loved watching that tv prog where they’d get big loads to move and would have to get places shut down etc it takes a lot of planning I loved it it’s a skill hats off mate
Experts in logistics! And a professional driver who engaged the roundabout so smoothly. 👏
Bat aren’t all the drivers like that?
Wow! So many people, life in Surrey must be pretty exciting. They will be talking about this for years. LOL.
They are all rich in Surrey so they don't work and have fuck all to do so it was either golf or watching a truck come pass.
Surrey is a bedroom community for the rich they work in London and don’t interact with the locals. The locals meanwhile struggle and work hard for very little while the rich people snub them on the street. So it would be the less well off out seeing this as there is precious little else to do in Surrey but work your arse off for nothing in return. Don’t begrudge us a bit of interest in the day. The last excitement I had in Guildford was 25 years ago when the fire alarm went off in house of Fraser at 5pm just as people were leaving so all had to evacuate, turned out the sprinkler tanks emptied and flooded 4 levels inc running down the escalators so many of us stayed on to try to clean up while firemen swept water out of the carpets into the stairwell to try to get it out. Mopped water up with ruined £200 throws!! Fun times 🤨🤪
Clearly not much happens in Surrey
That is modern liberal culture.
Maybe was on a Sunday afternoon?
laoluu I’m assuming so but look at all those people!
This will be talked about through the ages as one of the top ten momentous occasions in the history of modern Surrey.
Richest county in UK..

Wish they had an Austin Maxi at the end of ALL videos

......and an Austin Maxi to finish it all in style!

George Jacob but used slightly more fuel....
Love a Maxi.

What a bloody good driver to drive that huge load safely round that roundabout.
Too bad the camera was not only in completely the wrong location, but also focused on the truck instead of the interesting part, the trailer(s) with the load being maneuvered around the roundabout. Interesting topic, but sadly missed the opportunity completely.
My thought too
Strangely enough the police wouldn't let me stand in the right place. I said to them Paul and SE said I could. The police said "who are they and what the fuck do they know about it anyway" I had to agree with them to be honest.
I mean--what if the whole roundabout had been crushed--we might have missed that. Although, it would be on Channel 4 later.
+MrKnowwun i was thinking that as I read his comment
@@MrKnowwun funny everyone else is stood around seeing the interesting bit of the trailers
