Seems curious though. With 86 tonnes on the back I doubt the driver was leathering it! And surely such a load would have been escorted by police outriders?
The haulage companies don't use police escorts anymore except in extreme circumstances.

If an escort is needed for a difficult section of the journey the companies supply their own.

On this particular move they would have used one on the approach to Llangollen, and to help negotiate the unit into the yard as the trailer needs to be reversed down Abbey Road for the final quarter of a mile.
