YH11 LMU Land Rover Discovery 4

This Land Rover Discovery 4 is used at the Tyne Tunnel as a Tunnel Patrol vehicle. It is operated by a company called TT2 who run the four tunnels under the River Tyne in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the background is the River Tyne and one of the North Portals into the tunnel. The rear view shows the blue flashing light bar, with the option of red-only to the rear. The Discovery's livery is designed to compliment the TT2 company logo. Inside the rear are equipment including fire extinguishers and a skate. In years gone by, the team would be primarily focussed on fire fighting and carried a lot of firefighing equipment. The introduction of a tunnel misting system to put fires out removed the need for this today. Also shown is a closer view of the rear of the Discovery.
