On 18th Aug 2018 a 145 tonne transformer left Tilbury docks, went round the M25, its destination The west Weybridge substation in Surrey suburbia. Here the tricky stuff starts.

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.

Coincidentally, she went the wrong way round it, too. They still clapped though. Still, she's in a home now....somewhere.

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. 😁

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.

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 🤨🤪

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.

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.

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.

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

In Sweden, this summer, they did a 750 tonne, 106 meter, transport. 260 kilometers. First by road, then by boat, then by road. Took almost one month to complete! I think it was 256 wheels, and on some bridges they added eight more axles and then went at 1 km/h over the bridge, then removed the extra axles to continue. Speed was around 5-15 km/h. Sadly i could not watch it live but have seen videos and images of it.
