Hows that concrete escalator be installed in the airport supposed to work?
I knew there would be a post about this!
just watching now friday 22 nov,what has the concrete stairs and the fitting of them got to do with trucks and trailers,i know its all to do with stobarts,also saw the part where this car transporter driver paul delivered 9 cars the first drop was 3 cars,he parked up on the side of the road, nothing behind him then the narrator ben crowe spoke in his deep dramatic voice,with vehicles continually passing his vehicle theres no room for manoeuvre so paul has to keep his wits about him,from what i saw you drove them off the back,you look for passing vehicles to go then turn right into the dealership,end of,i could not see any problem
I quite admire the car transporter drivers, something I’ve never done.
but the program is just overhyped tosh!
I can’t believe any professional driver watches that crap,all Stobart’s yes men paraded on TV,i know someone who worked for them and left as he said he would have had a nervous breakdown otherwise and he had been driving arctics 25 years +.
1st time I’d watched it tonight.(didnt like)…Just wanted to see the transporter drivers bit.Talk about over dramatizing everything.And the place He parked to tip the cars were a god send compared to some of the places I have to load and unload cars.
Does the programme do a bit on the transporters every week?.
Must admit though,His kit was a bit better than Mine.
I hate it and only watched episode two! The bit about the track ballast machine “This beast of burden…” 
how cheesy. Every single event is overhyped massively although I suppose the tramper chap looking for a place to park seems ok though.
It’s just the over-hyping that let’s it down; take this from the Channel 5 website
"This week, there are major jobs in store for Stobart’s rail team. Ian ‘Spit’ Wilson has to deliver a 15-tonne rail repair machine, known as the Gopher, to Sunderland. He battles through traffic and heavy rain, but then has to get the massive machine on to the rails. Along the way, we learn where his unusual nickname comes from.
Trainee Dan Metcalfe has his first ever shift in charge of the Gopher, carrying out overnight repairs to the line just south of Sunderland. But almost as soon as he gets started, things begin to go wrong. Will the team be able to get the job done before the trains start running again? (well let’s hope so!)
Trucking favourite Matt Ekins makes a return to his spiritual home. He goes on a tour of the East Midlands on a multi-drop mission ( ) but it seems that around every corner is another massive queue .Will he manage to make all his deliveries on time?
Fitter Chris Lacey has a real challenge on his hands when he ‘wraps’ a brand new model in the Stobart branded livery for the first time. As the truck is a new and unfamiliar shape, Chris must work out the new wrap design, getting each of the sections in exactly the right place. As anyone who has ever put up wallpaper knows, it is not an easy job.
Mark Dixon and his leading lady, faithful truck Phoebe Grace, come to the end of the road together. It has been a three-year romance, (It’s a machine) 
but it is now time for her to retire gracefully. There is a surprise in store for Mark, however, when he is introduced to his new truck and sees her name!
How embarrassing!
Bring back Gareth “white-knuckle-ride”
He is employed by the greenies media dept.
Been stuck alongside him, possible vinegar stroke for him.
although I must admit that I wasn’t surprised when I heard his missus was earning a fortune
Could not believe the fuss Tim Fox made over the coach. At the end of the day, if he’d have pulled back just a little (plenty of time to have done so as it’s a long slip road) then he could have gone back on his merry way and been less stressed.
Oh and finishing his day after 170 miles drive. Really■■? That’s half a day.

Well to be fair he was spot on, that was a crap bit of driving from a driver who should know better. everyone gets narked by antics like this at some time. If you had a camera in your face all week there’d probably be a few choice words that could be picked out.
I scan through the programme as some bits are interesting, others less so. But the public seem to like it. That’s as close to our job as many people will get to see, if they show some stupid driving that affects us it just might sink into the brains of one or two numpties.
But then again it may not.
