Canvassing industrial pilgrims

[fivemack]

Would any of my readers be interested in a tour of Drax, the four-gigawatt coal-fired power station located mid-way between Leeds and Hull? Tours have to be arranged specially, but the logistics are not substantially worse for a small group than for an individual. I am a shareholder, but I don't think that owning eleven hundred nanodraxes will get me any usefully special treatment.

I'll need to ring and get absolutely basic information like whether it's possible to go at a weekend, but I'd quite like to know before then whether I'd be going alone or contemplating booking a minibus. Would be planning to go sometime-in-October, assuming that plans don't have to be made months in advance.

I'd like to but I'm not sure I can reasonably get to N. Yorkishire; although I assume that if you are managing the transport faff for yourself then it can be managed.

Three or so hours from Cambridge station (change Peterborough, Retford) and then either ten quid in a shared taxi or 10km on a fafffully-transported velocipede.

So it's a bit of a long day, and a bit of an early day if they want to start at 10am, but not insuperable.
