Doncaster Dotto Train.

A special service for Christmas to go round the Town connecting the shops with the outdoor Ice Rink.

 

Seen here in Doncaster Town Centre at Clock Corner on a wet cold Winters day.

 

It has the branding 'Coniston Flyer'. Maybe its used in the Lake District during the summer?

 

According to the Interweb:-

A trackless train, road train, land train, parking lot tram, Dotto train or Choo-Choo train — is a road-going articulated vehicle used for the transport of passengers, comprising a driving vehicle pulling one or more carriages connected by drawbar couplings, in the manner of a road-going railway train.

 

I'm unsure why they are commonly known as Dotto trains?
