From the Wokingham Times:

Quote
Heavy rainfall flooded the car park at Crowthorne train station.



These pictures, taken at around midday yesterday, show the car park completely submerged.

The Loddon Bridge Park and Ride in Winnersh remains closed today due to flooding.

The Met Office has forecast showers later this evening but a dry and sunny day tomorrow.

A case of 'park and wade', perhaps?  Grin

Didn't notice anything when I went through today, but then the paper speaks of 'yesterday'.  Should the heading be changed to 'Car park at Crowthorne Station flooded - 31 January 2013'

Either it's a very little used car park or that water is VERY deep so we can't see the cars  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Yes, it should: my mistake, which I've now corrected.  Embarrassed

Are you an expert on flooded station car parks, by any chance, Jo?  Tongue Wink Grin

Nope.. I just expect a station car park to be full fairly early on.. Maybe that is just Maidenhead though  Grin I can't see any cars in that picture...

Crowthorne is a small car park. When I went to try park up on Thursday it was cordoned off (believe flooding started on Wednesday). Although a couple people had cars parked up anyway.
