The depot and psb is off beale street if you are in a van or car,if you are coming on the train use the walking route off the north end of platforms but make sure you have got a vizzy on,the area around the depot is a bit dodgy for muggings,assaults and a lot of smackheads about so you dont really want to be walking by road from the station.

I've always used the AWR off the north end of the platforms on the up side.

What is the AWR? So if you were in all your gear it's possible to walk down the linside to get there? It doesn't look far walking by road but I have heard that areas reputation before.

Just wondering as I've applied for the NR apprenticeship at Leicester, as you may know Hydro.

AWR-authorised walking route,if you have'nt got a PTS might be a bit dodgy though,just make sure no-one collars you.

PTS isn't required for an Authorised Walking Route but HV is. If you're going to an interview, use the street entrance I'd say.

Thanks. I haven't been told anything about the interview yet, only that it will be sometime between May and July. I was thinking more about what the commute to work would be like if I did get the job. Probably shouldn't be thinking that far ahead just yet anyway!

Don't worry, I'll be using the street entrance for my interview, if it's going to take place there.
