NOTES

The rapid response unit arrived at an emergency call to Euston station. While parked, the rider operated the steady blue lights that are about half the brightness of the usual flashing pattern. This is used to readily identify that it is an emergency vehicle on a call without blinding passing motorists and pedestrians with the full brightness flashing blue lights.

NOTES

The photos also show what it looked like in its previous life as a police response car. This Astra was being retired from front-line duties with North Yorkshire Police in 2019. Instead of sending it to auction as normal, the workshops converted it into a first responder car to give it a new lease of life. This arrangement was facilitated by NYP and NYFRS sharing workshop facilities. When the vehicle entered service with NYFRS in summer 2019 it was initially used for transport duties before being properly used as a first responder car. A sister vehicle is YJ12 BDZ which is exactly the same; an ex-police vehicle converted to a first responder.
