Fire at WCR Carnforth


Recommended Posts

It would seem that sadly West Coast Railways have had a fire at their Carnforth base this morning. I appears that it was in one of their Northern Bell mk2 Coaches.

By all accounts one coach is heading for the siding in the sky!

Odd that appliances attended from Carnforth, Silverdale, Blackpool, and Cumbria and not from Lancaster or Morecambe. Unless the last two were busy on their own patches at 06:00 in the morning. The part time crews do a great job much appreciated by their communities, although rather taken for granted.

Most local crews where dealing with the August floods in Lancaster!
