Wow, that’s some goods train for England.

[@PaulHappy-rf8tg]

I just did some calculations there are 258 cars not 240 30k a piece makes it 8.2 million not 7.2mil

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

Yh maths never was my strong suit. I could do 3.5's and £30 to go with it all day long due to my street training on the Hemmingwell in my younger days 😂😂😂😂

[@101seaking]

Never new they transported cars by rail. Great catch :)

[@PurpleandCoRailwayAdventures]

It's a very recent thing and I'm not sure how long it will last. Thanks for commenting Marti

This is a new working but the UK has had car transporter trains for decades! Also a lot of car parts trains used to run for Chrysler in the 70's , Leyland and Ford, a lot of that traffic inevitably goes by road now. One well known parts train was the Rover train that used to go to Longbridge, Birmingham before that plant shut.

@@formidable38 UK may have had these for years but our Midland mainline has not. This is rare for us, well not no more

[@exb.r.buckeyeman845]

As a Guard in the 70s Marti, we picked up a train of cars from Avonmouth Docks Bristol, with a class 52 Western Loco.
