Trip Round Drax Power Station
miked:
Made some enquiries today and have been given the OK for a site visit for the OOF.
I'm not exactly sure what it would include, I'll make firmer arrangements when I know levels of interest, but they have agreed to provide an official tour guide for us if there are a reasonable amount of people. If its just a few people (4 or 5) then they will let me give the tour.
An official tour would be free by the way :y
I usually stay in a Travel Inn in Goole which is a couple of miles away from Drax, £52 per night on a weekday, cheaper on a weekend. Does have a pub attached though.
York 30 miles, East Coast 45 miles so a visit, a pub meal and a few drinks, and a run out the next day is a possibility.
So the question is, who’s interested? Answers on a post card please...
JohnM:
Is it still there? I thought someone sold it on ebee a while back!
Could be. These trips are usually very interesting even for the non-technical etc.
What kind of times/days are you looking at, invited people etc (age limits - minimums, I'm thinking more sensible kids etc - I think the stations are often adults only).

I'm interested! Love this sort of stuff.
Marks DTM Calib:
I would be interested....always love the way they 'hang' the boilers from the ceiling.... and only just over an hours drive from Nottingham...
An having worked at Alsthom over in Stafford on power transmission......
bob.dent:
Count me in. :y Always interested in trips that are "something out of the ordinary".
Also it'll be a good opportunity to meet up with a few more members and have a couple of beers and some nosh in the evening. Any ideas as to dates?
