Bonita experiencia; yo lo viví en mis tiempos cuando hacía el transporte desde Alicante ( España ) a distintos lugares de Inglaterra por los años 1971, cuando el ferry de entonces iba con grandes hélices. Tuve un bonito viaje, mientras reponía fuerzas en el restaurante del ferry invitados todos los camioneros por la Compañía Naviera, fue una experiencia bonita, y ahora con 77 años vivo con éste recuerdo de tanto vivido y tanto conocido. Un abrazo a todo el gremio de camionero que sé que también se sufre mucho estar fuera de la familia, y los sinsabores del clima, la nieve, los fríos, antes se pasaba mucho peor, ahora hay buenas máquinas buenos aire acondicionado en los camiones, buenas marcas, y los GPS que entonces los españoles aún no los conocíamos, pero ya había alemanes, holandeses y otros países que sí los tenía. ¡ Ánimo compañero que vuestro trabajo es muy necesario para la sociedad ! Yo ahora es cuando disfruto de mi descanso del guerrero, y sufro cuando veo a mis compañeros esperar días enteros en caravanas por distintos motivos que ellos no tienen culpa, y les toca sufrir y tener paciencia, esperar y esperar, pasando frío a veces y gastando más que las ganancias del porte, cuando no te dejan de pagar, como a mí me ocurrió con la empresa Mateu Mateu, que quebró y nos dejó dos meses de facturas y sin trabajo y fue la razón de abandonar el oficio, vender mi tractora a un compañero y cambiar de vida, y ahora me alegro de haberme retirado en ese momento. El mundo del transporte es muy complicado de entender, no es lo que parece, un camión nuevo cuesta mucho dinero y muchas letras que pagar, y si no tienes suerte, mejor abandonar porque no salen las cuentas, el combustible sube cada día, la lucha por los precios es constante, hoy hay pocas personas que quieran ser conductor de camiones de gran tonelaje y andar por el mundo. Prueba de ellos es que hay falta de conductores para las empresas.

Good driving plus there are guide lines on the floor if you look carefully you can see them..It takes longer to load the train that make the whole journey across to Europe
Also the sides are raised like pavements. The trackway is barely wider than a bus from wheel to wheel. Even if you did steer too far. The sides will make dure your wheels straightened again

Tiny comment. The Eurotunnel terminal in the UK is at Cheriton (Folkestone). Dover is home to the main UK Ferry Terminal, and is about another 6 miles along the A20
Guided many tour groups from the continent to London on long weekends and holidays. Many folks are too claustrophobic to make the tunnel crossing, but after Titanic, others are even just afraid to do the Channel ferry trek! I prefer to see the White Cliffs.
Kudos! It takes a dexterity of its own to actually maneuver a double-decker in a wagon like that. And to remember which side of the road you're gonna drive once arrived in Dover!

Bet the aerial was pinging all the way down that train car. I consider myself a fairly decent coach (and bus) driver but I was 'eek'-ing a lot at that turn in and out. Obvs it's possible, but I reckon very easy to come unstuck. I'd be proper scared the first time!
That aerial is the same reason why this kind of buses can cause a lot of problems at tunnels equipped with height sensors before entrance.. The complete tunnel entry closes and everybody comes to a halt. I've seen the same happening on the entry of the Dartford tunnel for the lower tunnel bore..
Wow, wie beeindruckend 🤩. Auf der Suche nach so einem Film, bin ich offenbar fündig geworden. Mein neues Wohnmbil wird nämlich auch 3,60 m hoch sein und das "Gefühl" für die Höhe muss ich erst noch entwickeln 🙈. Der Bus ist knapp 4 m hoch, gell? Ja, toller Film. Ich hätte jetzt zu diesen Aufnahmen trotzdem noch gern noch ab und zu den Blick in die Außenspiegel gehabt. Das ist doch bestimmt auch unheimlich interessant zu sehen, wie knapp das rangieren wirklich ist. Vielleicht beim nächsten Video?
The video title is correct (maybe it was changed after your comment?). I think some people get confused as the tunnel passes underneath Aycliffe on the West side of Dover.
I would love taking the 46 hour journey to Bucharest and taking a couple of other coaches to Istanbul. But I've gotta prepare damn well for it. The only public coach I've been on so far is Megabus to Glasgow for 9 hours. I might go to Middlesbrough on National Express in August.
Hi are these buses full size or made just to fit the train? It looks tight . Wow amazing I’ve never known this existed. Thanks I enjoyed the other videos. Thanks
@@TheEarthHistorysConfusing I may be late, but yes a B-double truck would probably fit. They aren't any wider than a standard truck, just longer. Only issue is the S-Curve getting it into and out of the train, but I think a very very good b-double operator would do it if he went slowly.. Of course, if such a tunnel existed in an area where B-double vehicles exist, the exits would of course be made longer to make it easier. P.S. From one Australian to another, greetings!
I've done this abeit not with a double decker and also got out and watched the train enter the tunnel through one of the tiny windows. Travelling by bus to the UK is really cheap. Eurostar prices aren't bad either, next time I think I will take one of those.
I made this trip many many times as I live in London UK and believe me ALL OF THE DRIVERS IS GOOD. They would not allow if the couch was not on the right spot. The Europeans are use to maneuverer a lot and in many times in many place through out Europe and the driving licence here in Europe is very expensive and take at least for a year until all drivers even just a personal car know all and stable enough for all kind of the place to drive on , incl. on the ice for to learn who to steer when the car is out of control in the ice or other kind of weather or area.
I know guys, but usually, in the context of tourism, dutch is represented by the flag of The Netherlands and sometimes Belgium too. You rarely see just the Belgian flag.
So these trains are higher than some bridges in Berlin... a Flixbus driver had cut the top off his (luckily empty) bus on the way to the central bus station...
Got quite a few bridges like that in the UK particularly older railway bridges, problem with having the first railway network in the world we ended up with quite a lot of it being built before it occurred to anyone that someone would probably adapt these newfangled engines for road vehicles and that they likely would become somewhat larger than horse drawn carts.

The bus has a Dutch licence plate. If the Flixbus Coach wanted a direct route back to the Netherlands from London even though it's a longer travel time due to the North sea Crossing it would have Been A12-14 ferry Netherlands from Harwich Felixtowe area.
I’ve once gone straight from Victoria bus station to Eindhoven. When you get out of the tunnel it’s just a lot more driving. Still much cheaper in comparison to a ferry, though.
Sometimes you do need to reverse and reset your line. It is very tight and if you do not get the angle of approach spot on then what you see in the video can happen
Enjoyed that, I did not know trains were made that WIDE,I thought they were about same width as a bus. Must be great for dining,sleeping & moving around on?
At 4:00, the man on the deck doesn't likely get paid enough for that job. He's standing with a vehicle coming at him with no where to duck out of the way, and nowhere to back up as there's the end of the RR car behind him. There's a bloke who's doing a man's job!
He's used to this job and probably never made a bad experience. I guess, this shuttle is mainly being used by professionals and cosmopolites, so not too many maniacs to be found there.
As the speed limit on the train is little more than walking pace he is in very little danger. Plus once on the train it is a straight line. Easier job than the guys have on the ferries where vehicles have to manoeuvre as directed.

The exit is in Folkestone (England, UK) as it says in the title of the video, not sure why it showed "Dover" in the video?
35 mins
by far more than that, it is rather 35-45 minus I would say.
NO WAY 15 or 20 minutes I DID THIS TRIP MANY MANY TIMES BUT NEVER EVER 15 minutes.
@elizabethnilsson1815 I agree. From all the times we went on the euro tunnel which is yearly every time it was like as you stated 35 to 45 mins.

My first time doing this I thought the bus was going to drive through the tunnel. Instead they loaded the bus on a train car and away we went.
Nice video 😘🤗😍
Gostei muito, muito!
8:47 That dude was slick.
Enjoyed that, I did not know trains were made that WIDE,I thought they were about same width as a bus. Must be great for dining,sleeping & moving around on?
No. Only the transit cars are that big.
Wow that's a first never seen that before
People entering god mode
Bus driver
Wow. Some people actually take this for granted.
Looooove your video 👍
At 4:00, the man on the deck doesn't likely get paid enough for that job. He's standing with a vehicle coming at him with no where to duck out of the way, and nowhere to back up as there's the end of the RR car behind him. There's a bloke who's doing a man's job!
He's used to this job and probably never made a bad experience. I guess, this shuttle is mainly being used by professionals and cosmopolites, so not too many maniacs to be found there.
As the speed limit on the train is little more than walking pace he is in very little danger. Plus once on the train it is a straight line. Easier job than the guys have on the ferries where vehicles have to manoeuvre as directed.
5:16 I'd get off the train if I saw the staff were daily mail readers.
The bit at the end where you put Dover England is wrong the euro tunnel comes out at Folkestone in England
Ja ja.
Wonderful
