.....and it is!!!!

Taken by a friend this morning on the way to the hospital (the bridge is for the main railway line between Inverness and the south).

What an idiot! :/

Crikey! Has the railway been declared safe?

Muban · 21-10-2010, 20:33

It seems so, trains are running again now. I'm assuming as it was just the spolier (or whatever the correct name is) it didn't really do any damage other than wedging itself in there!

I hate to think what would have happened if his cab was low enough

What the fork was be pulling!!??

It looks like something out of a dodgy sci-fi film!

I do, however, quite like the way he's letting the tyres down to fry and get it out

Makes a change from a bus I suppose (it's usually them that end up stuck under bridges).

This happened four times in the space of 8 months at a bridge in Dover. Funny the first time but pretty stupid by the end. Network rail had to close the road to carry our repairs over 3 months.

Work was fun (not) having to explain over and over again to members of the public that the road wasn't just closed for fun!

It's happened quite a few times there too. I remember somewhere (can't remember where) it happened so much they set up a beam further up the road and if you broke it's path big warning lights at the side of the road flashed to let you know you weren't going to fit

This used to happen to a bridge in Braintree about once a month.
Looking at the pic if the dude let his tyres down he'd get under.
