What has been gained?

[Matt]

Following on from the topic of what have you lost, I did mean to post this one last night but forgot.

So opposite to what have you lost, what have you gained in the last 10 years?

Lincolnshire - a number of new build stations with better resources for crews, the number of day manned stations increased to 8 from 4.  Entire new fleet, development of a training site.

London gained F57 Harold Hill, a one appliance station in 2010 (may have been 09).

Boris officially opened it Feb 2010 I believe but sure Steve will know exactly

Doesnt look like many services have gained anything @Matt. I am afraid its all cuts cuts cuts, doing more with less.

See my other post on Surrey fleet, lots of the vehicles are pretty new to the fleet- a gain I suppose.

The 2 new fire stations at Guildford and Woking replaced old ones.

You are right @Carl I was just curious to see if there had been many.

Station rebuild's have been the main thing, couple of replacements in places, fleet/equipment has just been replacements rather than additions with newer better equipment but that's not much different to over the years.
