Normal bridgdes where? They fit perfectly fine on the French loading gauge (max train dimensions), but the British one is much smaller on most lines.
The auto trains that go across Europe are much narrower and take a lot longer to load and unload. They are pretty expensive and only used for very long distances. Most of the time it makes more sense to rent a car at your destination.
