Owd Bob Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) Anybody seen or heard of a TV show called 'Train Truckers ? Not sure if it's new or been on a channel i don't get. A mate of mines Grandson works for the haulage firm that is involved in the show, it is made by TCB media for showing on the UKTV channels i believe.

Hroth Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Caught the trailer (ha!) for it this morning. I'll be putting it on the PVR and sample the first one. It should be interesting to see the real problems that arise when moving heritage locos of all types from one place to another but if they start injecting false jeopardy just before each ad-break, I'll start to lose patience! https://yesterday.uktv.co.uk/shows/train-truckers/episodes/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EWS FAN Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just watched the first episode and I thought it was very good. It's on again tomorrow night at 8pm. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Markwj Posted August 29, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 29, 2019 Liked the episode but the false jeopardy grates every time- will they get the loco there on time? Errrr yep they will again! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted August 31, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) Slightly OT and I wouldn't want it to happen to a loco, but how about some real jeopardy? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-49371803 happened a couple of weeks ago and caused motorway chaos for a while - southbound M90 eventually shut for recovery, apparently the wreckers came from Carlisle (under contract to MOD), northbound slow and backed up due to rubberneckers. From Facebook chatter, the haulage firm involved have been featured on 'mega truckers' or similar - now that would make an interesting episode!

NeilG Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Love the computer generated sequences of what could go wrong but didn't know full size locos have tension lock couplings. Also I didn't know 'The Large Prairie'was the name of the loco. Will now get my coat. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I watched series 1 and found the false jeopardy stuff a bit grating. I know there were a couple of factual errors with that series as well, so I am hoping the bit I am involved with will be error free so much as I can help it.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted November 15, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 15, 2021 I've watched on a few occasions and quite enjoyed it. But what it didn't prepare me for was an S160 and its tender (on separate trailers of course) passing me heading in the opposite direction on the A 4074 this afternoon - no film crew visible 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be one going the other way either today or tomorrow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
