This heavy load carrying a transformer arrived in Wellington on Saturday after being transported from Dunball, north of Bridgwater.

Police had issued warnings to motorists that they could face hold-ups on the M5 – and again on Sunday as the load was transported from West Buckland to Bishop’s Hull in Taunton along the A38.

Dave Lacey, who took this photo of the 225-tonne transporter at Chelston, joked that it looked like ‘Wellington had its own carnival’.
