of course).
Which entrance do people use when they walk to work? Can't you just cycle on the pavement if it's
that dangerous?
Well, people don't really walk to the plant, it's located too far out of town for that to be
practical, it's car or bike. There's a cycle path which runs from the city down the side of the A38
and leads you right to the front entrance, they built it at the same time as the plant I assume. I
can't use this though because it runs against the traffic and stops dead when it hits the factory. I
need to continue to the next junction, take a right (onto A50) to travel down the far side of the
plant and enter at the [censored] end with all the HGV traffic. There is no pedestrian path along here,
nothing, just a big fence and a big dual carriageway.
Travel inside the plant grounds (it's bloody huge) is severely restricted, and I'm not allowed to
walk, cycle or drive across it. I have to go around and enter at the point closest to my building.
If I use the cycle path along the A38 it abandons me in the middle of nowhere and to get where I
need to go I'd have to shoulder the bike and leg it across the rush hour A38, vault the central
barriers and continue cycling up to the roundabout to join the A50 which is an even worse scenario.
It's a bleedin' nightmare :o)
