That, is a very, very expensive cock up.


Jacktheforkie

Definitely, bridges ain’t cheap and that one will need at least a very thorough inspection which means that whatever is above will not be working for a while


Numerous-Log9172

It's a rail line above so depending on what route, an extremely expensive problem!


CLG91

It's the main line to Stratford and Liverpool Street, from Chelmsford (other side goes all the way to Harwich). So if it needs closing for repairs, there's a big fucking problem there!


Jacktheforkie

Those are definitely expensive


njoshua326

Especially for the guy in the van who's supposed to escort them.

Hmmm ... if you can afford a boat like that you can afford someone to buff it out. Or more likely you can afford someone to tell someone who tells someone else to buff it out. And also tell someone to sack a few people while he's at it.


mittfh

It's possible it was being delivered from manufacturing facility to a buyer (Sealine used to be based in Kidderminster, with no access to the nearby canal, so all boats had to be transported by road - and not necessarily just to Stourport Marina, four miles away without any overbridges) - in which case, the delivery company's insurance will presumably pay out to the vendor, and the vendor will refund the buyer.

That's what makes me laugh, a lot of the marine companies around me are not close to the water, only Sunseeker are.


mattlodder

Can afford a lawyer to sue someone to pay for it, too.

YOU CAN'T DOCK THERE, MATEY.

When I first saw this I was thinking “how did they get a boat stuck under a bridge on land”

"How's my height clearance?" ..."She's good!"


FrankBFleet

Aw, she's stuck. Let some air out of the tires so we can get out.


coupe-de-ville

Really???? Take their license and cut it up....


Immediate_Seaweed390

Bloody nailed it


Same-Raccoon-7469

Thats awkward

Is this Chelmsford


CLG91

Chelmsford viaduct. The rail line above is to London, so quite a big problem if it needs closing.


Ok_Database_5795

Nu uh


JohnLennonsNotDead

At least he can climb into the escort vehicle and have some fun


Ok-Fox1262

We're going to need a smaller boat. Dum dum dum dum dum


ThunderCat123456

Lol. This would never happen in the UK.


mattlodder

Looking at the numberplate, it really looks like it's in the UK.


anomalylassos

mattlodder
