    Trains that don't fit are not unique to the UK: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-27497727

    Actually, I think I'm right in saying that it is not known what (loading?) gauge our network actually is, since 'gauge' includes clearance at axle level and this means surveying all bridgeworks - a daunting task. It is also possible to argue that the loading gauge has shrunk over the years as ballast beds have increased in height - leading to ex-GWR King class locomotives having to be modified to allow mainline running.
