--- Quote ---'ve been told by the father-in-law that Arriva (he's a Vehicle Inspector for them) are very being very careful where they route Double-Deckers at the moment.  (Bush Tucker Man) We do a lot of the repair work for Arriva Wakefield and Yorkshire, could be a busy few weeks coming then!!

I have been Blackburn - Speke (liverpool) - Blackburn today with one of our lads taking a double decker bus back, the wind was blowing it all over the place, got there and the wind had blown a canopy off his depot, you could hardly stand up in it.  On the way back we were in Maccy D's and a shop sign and part of the traffic lights blew past the windows, I saw a van driver with a piece of one of those advert boards at the side of the m/way in his screen, a 7.5 tonner at the end of the M57 sat on a rover estate and an artic on its side on the M6 which appeared to have taken a 7.5 tonner out with it, glad I wasn't driving an unladen truck today or in a hurry to get anywere, only hope everyone involved was OK, just watched news, 5 dead up to now in North West![/list]

Very windy here too. At work (Dungeness Power Station) we have had windows blowing out. I had to go aroung the site and tie things down, and barrier most of it off. Cladding sheets 20' square flying off like kites. :(

M6 -M5 - M40 - M42 _ M1 A14 A1 M60 M62 all have either closures or wagons on their sides, and theyre just the ones I heard on radio 2!!

Well finally got my power and internet back........ power was out for nearly 3 hours ........... and my children were sent home just after lunch. The school had to be closed as the roof on one of the buildings had become unstable :shock:  Dont know if they are meant to go in tomorrow or not and my eldest should be doing her final resit tomorrow :(

Certainly was horrendous traffic here in the Midlands tonight. I think all the local motorways (M1/M6/M42/M40) have been shut at one point or another. All traffic re-directed onto local roads leading to chaos. Went past a 6 mile (at least) traffic jam on the Fosseway - luckily my direction was clear. Then I took to the lanes just to keep clear of it all! Luckily no trees down.
