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.

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.

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 🤨🤪

@@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

Anonymous European Driver maybe he asked if he can go that way so he wont encounter blockades or the heavy trandport

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

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.

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.

Nice scenery, and with strong and reliable machinery from Germany. Nevertheless I recognized the classic (or now vintage) Austin Maxi at the end of this clip. And finally a MAN is at home everywhere.
