Newcastle General Hospital, Ambulance Transfer Station... lots of pics...

[Bluedragon]

This is the former anulance transfer station attached to the west side of newcastle general hospital, the station housed 1 A&E ambulance with a paramedic crew and 1 PTS (non-emergency) ambulance with an urgent crew (not paramedic trained). The purpose of the crews was to provide emergency transport from the general, to either the Freeman ospital or the Royal Victoria Infermary, both in Newcastle.

The vast majority of the general is now derilict but there is still a few wards and departments that are live. I was unable to get any shots of the outside of the station, but all that gives away its purpose is a green door with amulance parking only on blue sign beside it.

This station is unusual in the fact it has no garage, ambulances parked on the road outside.

Sorry some pics are a little dark but there was only 2 working lights, the rest were are wires!

they should have been! but most of them were chocked open with a bit of folded cardboard underheath

there was an open window which allowed access...but it was a hell of a squeeze! there was a PIR sensor above the blackboard just out of camera shot, it picked me up and within about 10 mins i heard a key in the front door... that was my q for a swift exit!
