CARLISLE FLOODS
Over the second weekend of January 2005, severe
storms battered much of North-West Britain. There was widespread
flooding in Carlisle, with the City Centre being completely cut off at
one point. As a result of this, a number of 'New Dimension'
vehicles were sent to the City, believed to be from the Training College
at Moreton-in-Marsh. All of the ones I saw are shown below, along
with the MRV based at Carlisle Fire Station. The Fire Station was
badly affected, but apparently not quite as badly as the adjacent Police
Station.
I know at least three people died in the area,
and many local people have lossed all their possessions. I offer
my condolences to the bereaved and my sympathy to those whose homes have
been so seriously damaged.
All these pictures were taken on Wednesday
12 January 2005.

As will be noted in the above two pictures,
PM010 ~WX54VLV was almost inaccessible.
However, I have decied to include them for
the sake of completeness.
