I might have to excuse myself from work just to make sure 
Ha! Funny enough we have a John Deer 'Gator' problem is yesterday someone got a flat tyre!
These are the only pictures I have been able to find, but when you have to pass over the River Swale, all routes are blocked!!
Is route 1 the A1?
I was meant to travel to York today (from Bishop Auckland) and turned back home when I got to loads of local roads which were closed here.
If thats the A1 then im chuffin glad I did not try and find a way around.
Oh and I just told my boss I wasn't going. She didnt seem to mind, nor the four people I was meant to be training today.

Yeah first is the A1...unbelievable!
The problem we have here is I am the only one in my roll that can do the job, so I kinda have to be in work anyway.
Keep getting updates and it seems the site we are on is being cut off on all sides, seems everyone is kipping here tonight!
Drive home should be fun. (York to Northallerton) - hasn't stopped raining all day. I wonder if the Ouse has burst its banks yet. Seems like the Wiske has, and Cod Beck had when I came in. Stupid bloody weather.
Really, it's been raining in Rotherham for most of the morning.
Team has too. And Tyne is looking pretty high in places!

May be fun mate!
Doing everything I can at moment to find out a route home lol
I think the A19 will still be open, but no doubt they've sent everyone down the A59/A64 from the A1, round the York ring road and up the A19. And it has roadworks on it (Traffic lights) which have half a mile queue on a good day. Brilliant.
Where exactly were your photos taken, if you don't mind me asking? They look like familiar bits of road (2/3rd pictures) but I can't quite place it.
Ouse normally floods a day after rain, but it was looking preeeeetty close to the limit at 8:30am when I drove over it earlier.

Been advised by Environment Agency to keep checking local news...great help!
2nd Pic is Morton-on-Swale
3rd Pic is Crakehall, Nr. Bedale
I THOUGHT that's where they were. I love the little weir thing in Crakehall.
Knew Morton would be closed. That always floods there.
