Beau ! Bear I think they loaded off the trains behind Barmouth station because there is a siding next to the station and on a another video I saw the two lorries was parked up next to the station
I'd like to have seen these negotiating the A496 towards Dolgellau. Or maybe not, I've been stuck behind too many vehicles struggling along that route.
If you read the information above you will see that the train had got stuck on the wrong side of a bridge after the bridge caught fire. The bridge I think was an ancient landmark and it needed renovating for more than a week before trains were allowed to cross. So I guess this train set was needed on some local line on the other side of the bridge and had no railway line available for it to get there. The area is just beside the sea, there is water cutting off the area from part of the mainland, there are mountains... not easy to lay railway lines here.
Little known fact: In the UK, residents often go hunting. When a suitable animal is not found, the residents will go for more difficult targets, like this one. What this video really shows is the townspeople parading their kill around the streets. Not shown is the ceremonial cooking and eating of the prey.
It's a good thing the UK uses small trains. I couldn't imagine them trying to move a large American rail car through there. XD First the trucks would need more axles to hold the weight of them. Second the trailers would be longer still. Then the rail cars would also be taller when on the trailer. Aka...American trains haul trains. Not by trucks. And if it has to be by truck, you're usually getting the electric company involved, to move power lines and stoplights out of the way, police cars to close roads, and major rigging company's involved. It's often a massive undertaking since the truck and rail car could be pushing 300,000+ lbs. And you wouldn't get them through a small town like this.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Two different lorry and trailer configuration second one cab to front is longer and first is modular trailer with more lock and different wheel base configuration
Probably the only Arriva service that arrived to its destination on time!
HAH good one ;D
fucking class.
😂😂
Absolutely true
😂😂😂
That’s the most excitement Barmouth has seen years.

"Oh look Margaret there's a man walking his train"
i'm pissing myself laughing right now LOL
imreallydead. "oh shut up john, that man is dragging the poor train by its leash. Call PDSA right now!"
imreallydead. Aa
😂😂😂
Oh my 😅
well done the first driver going around the corner with out touching the curb 👍
@regular everyday normal modafuka
Thank you for making dumb people understand
i thought that as well, the wheel loading would do the kerb edge no favours at all
Good team work ! Keep em rolling guys.
We were actually there one day when this happened,fascinating how they managed to get through.
not really,they have rear steer Axles,gets you around a corner easy 9 times out of ten
How the hell did they get out of Barmouth ? Some tight narrowish bends on the way out.
Good driving skills and thanks for sharing the video 👍
He's still trying (2019)
Beau ! Bear

Maybe they come in that way
Even after they get out of the town area the coast road in places is very tight and twisty and hilly in places
Well I've heard of Road Trains but that is just ridicoulous!

Indeed but couldn't be done without the special trailers
Mark C And the guys with the controls on those wheels, good job they weren't going at speed 😂😂

It could be a very large version of Tokyo drift 👍

I like the tail lights on the first vehicle. A missed opportunity to display the destination!
What a gorgeous church on the left!
That was really awesome to watch. Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Big thumbs up from me and I've subscribed to you.

Based on the Slough between Redditch and Studley see these guys all the time amazing skill

sebofo "the bridge caught fire"
The sea seems like a great way
Was at NorthWeald station on the EOR when a guy delivered a big Diesel , was Alleys , had a long chat with the driver , top bloke
see these trucks alot on m25 m6 m1 great catch to see the skill
Hats off to the truck drivers! Great job!
There are some amazing drivers around.
Thanks for explanation, I wondered why train not stay on the the rail tracks as it is much more easy to travel through the city it is in.
Best thing about Barmouth is the road out of it 👍👍
Looks like the driver's had a good time driving trains around.
1:30 _Mind The Gap_
Typical alleys. Professional till the end. Nice job on showing how it's really done
Allely's, you mean
Touched the curb bro I have to fail your exam.
It was expected.. 1000 wheels. like a Centipede pulling a snake...Skilled job!
@stephen john gray wooosh
Romano Hgv’s are allowed to mount the curb when necessary if safe to do so
@@jamesheaton8579 Not in a test
@@Ryan-uh9le I was told you can as long as it’s necessary and safe to do so but you need tell the examiner you’re intentions
THE BEST DRIVER IN THIS PLANET THANK YOU
Wow it's hard even to fit a car through never mind a lorry and a train on the back. Them diver is skillful. And I love going to Barmouth every year☺
Beautiful town

Yeah.....There was too much rejoicing for my liking! Sacrificial!
In Soviet Britain, train rides lorry.
The Union of British socialist Kingdoms.
This is transport
Were the passengers on a bus behind this?
Don't be silly, they couldn't afford a bus too, lol
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
Well that's my manshed being delivered 😆
Why were the train's lights on?
Safety first
this is vehicle
This probably was the easy part,further out off Barmouth would also be a nightmare
Well done
Love Barmouth

Thank god a yank turned up to tell us all how much better/bigger everything is in the good old US of A, now fuck off.
Great ! Like the good old days !
Nice bit of navigating Allelys
Iwona would be proud of them.🇬🇧
that is cool as hell. 👏
First train through Dolgellau in many Decades!
Is that the replacement trains for the bus service
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
Very driver
Did that bridge burn down across the estuary ?
Owen Crouch it got damaged by fire
would of liked to see the whole trip out to main road
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 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.
Is it worth the stress?
I have seen a steam engine on a flatbed trailer being shipped by train from Massachusetts to New York.
Dan u did a great job....
Which is relevant how? 🤦♂️
Correct title to video. 'diesel railcar set' on lorries negotiates Barmouth streets.
It's not a diesel anything. It's a train carrage.
Who gives a fuck anyway troll
chris77777777ify It's a part of a Diesel train.
It's a diesel train class 158
So...a train, then.
a little 2-car DMU "train"
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
Yeah barmouth is very tight i managed to deliver a lot of windbreakers in an 18 tonner only beacause we off loaded them at 7pm when it was quiet

Beautiful~
I don't think there are many of these Perkins 158s left now, Northern have lost theirs and EMT don't have many left.
Can't trains arrive by rail.
Or did you miss your stop or something.
A year ago you forgot to read the description of a video
IsThis WhatYouWant
You forgot to get a sense for humour.
Nut case.
Well trained drivers
What was it doing on the beach in the first place?
The locals whining that they won't be going anywhere today are probably the same locals who complained about tracks being blocked!
....................and it arrived on time !
One mistake and you are screwed, it would have been so difficult to reverse one of these low loaders.
Easier to reverse that than a normal trailer
Why not by rail?
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.
Where was this 158 heading to
why would such a tractor unit require more amber lights than an emergency vehicle has blue emergency lights?
they have done it with the 801
What a lorry like train.
It's a train on the back of a couple of lorries, it basically said that in the title but yeah
Why would people dislike this video?
Funny how the classification lights were on, on the trains
I don't know, you wait for ages and then two of the buggers turn up!
Crazy skills..
where and how did they craine these onto trucks
New meaning to rail replacement service
So were was the police or highways agency escort for over size loads
Iconito.Or even more Incognito.
Police no longer do escorts in England and Wales, only Scotland. Here the transport firm is responsible for providing the escort.
Looks like Mid- Summer there!!!!
Np it was just a Mid Sommer Nights Dream
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.
Amazing
Rail replacement service?
Ets3 confirmed?
Surely there's another route, with wider roads
Nope!
at a guess NO, if there was they would have used it surely
Yusuf -
Barmouth is all tight streets so I don't think so
Would been nice to have had a start to finish, of the entire journey.
well You can tell did not get the drivers incense in usa....lol...great jobs guys
It wasn't towed because of a fire. It was towed due to flooding I think.
LOL THE CITY PLANNERS OF THAT TOWN IN THE 1500s AND 1600s
DIDNT DO CITY STREET PLANNING TO ACOMMODATE SUCH TRAFFIC AS THIS!! LOL 😂
A train! HOLY SHIT its a train guys!
The train better not be scratched!!!
Any wonder the trains are always late if they're getting a piggy back on a truck ?
Interesting that one was STGO Cat 3 weight and the other Cat 2 weight
It's what the truck is rated to, not the load
Gotcha. Thanks.
Love the burger and chips beer swilling rear steerer. Almost stereotypical and possessing the right prerequisites for his job.
Bob Clarke I’m guessing you was on about the second steersman, well I can assure you he’ll earn more in a week what you get in a month
@@y0BeastHD Yellow Jacket can afford a Signature BBQ and a Slurpy?
2 different lines first one was best
2nd one was better dude. That truck passed the turn much quicker than the 1st
Two different lorry and trailer configuration second one cab to front is longer and first is modular trailer with more lock and different wheel base configuration
I've walked down there
I think that, that’s taking the idea of a replacement bus service just a little too far!
That street is quite wide even by many colonial area streets in USA such as Boston central or other European countries. many are more like alley's.
This is what they call a roadtrain
Did it arriva on time!!!!! '
the powers that be should have cleared those streets
Agreed, woman and prams can be seen walking the pavements a bit concerning to say the least ;(
The PTB? Sure they'd love clear the streets. A whole Compendium of weaponage the could reap!
That truck driver is prob on half the salary of a train driver.
So much for getting to work on time
I’m from dolgellau which by Barmouth
