Arriva Trains 158 Query

M60lad · 15 Jan 2014

Does anybody have any idea of which way the 2 158s that are coming from Barmouth-Chester by road are taking, only I'm led to believe there's some tight roads on the way upto Chester

I can't actually answer your question but discussion here:-

A496, A487 then A55 seems the obvious route but not too sure really

1st unit definately went via Dolgellau to Bala up the A494. Not sure which way after that, but easiest route for that size of load would be A5 to Chirk then A483 to Chester.

Judging by the photo the BBC are using for the story, I'd say that's an understatement:

Two low loaders, each carrying half an ATW 158 were parked up in this layby on the Eastbound side of the A55, just outside Chester when I passed by at 5:00PM yesterday.

At least one of the cars came through Llangollen.
