Two maps are in existence. The severe flood warning map AND a second map which I only seem to be able to view via Facebook and I cannot save a reference to display it here. This second map describes the area at risk should the dam burst and the effects of that burst peter out to normal flooding on the low fields below Furness Vale.Which map is this? If you mean the extent of the severe flood warning, if there was a large release of water from the dam it certainly wouldn't stay in Whaley Bridge.
Do we actually know the Hope Valley line is closed because of the Whaley Bridge situation rather than some other flooding or landslip?
Neither map shows any threat to the Hope Valley line.
I appreciate that Northern and EMT are now showing flooding elsewhere as well as the dam threat.
