[@TLGvideos]

Good stuff. I filmed the car train at Stafford once... Took over 2 minutes to pass by!! 😁👍🏻

[@JamesChewter-zk7pg]

Good video. I've never filmed a car train in my life

[@BarrysViews]

Nice one and a nice tone from the driver

[@tomfitzpatrick7335]

Aw man, I wish we had a car transporter train like that here in Ireland 🙁

[@Star_Sillyz]

Thats terrifying , infinite cars

[@mattayres5238]

Those cars on the trailers keep going and going n going n going and going! And then eventually it goes by...😲😃👍👍

[@robertbate5790]

I also worked with cartic4s at Knowle and Dorridge in mid 70s. We could only send a block of seven to Dover or Harwich, our usual destinations, or twenty 60' car flats. I was a BR checker/shunter at the time, working in the private sidings of MAT.

[@mattayres5238]

This train reminds me of those big american trains that go on forever!! And takes half an hour to go by! 😲😃

[@mattayres5238]

😲😲😱😱 Unbelievable!!! How long is that train??!! 😲😱😃

[@andrewjohnfox]

Impressive video. Am I right in thinking that these are all imported cars via the Dollands Moor yard in Folkestone? What happened to the British motor industry?

[@trentjunction5676]

@@andrewjohnfox there is a car loading terminal at Toton just for toyato so what we make goes out and then what comes back to the terminal is foreign stuff

[@perkinscrane]

Not sure which crossing this is in Long Eaton. I do however remember long waits in my car at two crossings in Long Eaton and one in Sawley. I worked there for three years

[@trentjunction5676]

@@perkinscrane it's on station road and station street

[@perkinscrane]

@trentjunction5676 I remember one lunchtime on my way back to work being held up at this crossing. First one goods train passed, then another going the other way passed by very slowly. It finally stopped with it's last wagon blocking the crossing. A full 10 minutes passed before it moved away. Needless to say I was late back to work.😂😂

[@MidM-freight]

That is an impressively long train. Thanks for sharing

[@Del-bm]

Great channel

[@JohnnoRail]

Nice one!

[@deauvilledad07]

Seeing a train of cars that long, that runs at least 4 days a week makes you wonder about the thistle for the raw products to make them or is the metal recycled class 50's from back in the day 🤔🤔

[@Trainnerd4472]

How did one 66 pull all that? Also how come they didn’t move cars forward so less carriers had to be used

[@DOCTORDROTT]

Thats a light load for a 66, they can pull up to 2500 tonnes. These run in fixed sets, that is the reason . I worked on these trains at Newport and Didcot

[@johnkeepin7527]

A load of brand new Toyota Yaris’s. A couple of years ago, my car would have travelled that way, form the factory at Valenciennes.

[@bobcholawo6787]

Is that all the EV's on their way to the scrap heap? 😂

[@user-ei3dq2dw6i]

All imported cars not british one in sight

[@timwilks666]

Train full of Toyota Corollas built just up the road in Derby for export to France, this is the returning train bringing Yaris's back for the UK market.

[@stuartirving9714]

The choice of car colours is so pathetic.

[@damonrobus-clarke533]

Ain’t that the truth!

[@deauvilledad07]

They don't seem to have a very big colour palette these days. 🤔

[@ozbolli]

Who buys these things lol

[@trentjunction5676]

@@ozbolli no idea but there toyato cars made in Europe for the British market
