How to Get to Vestas - go there now!

It's really important that people get down to Vestas ASAP to prevent the last few Wind Turbine Blades remaining in the St Cross Business Park, Newport, IOW factory, and in Southampton Docks, from leaving to America. This is a really good piece of leverage to argue for reinstatement of sacked workers, better redundancy packages, installation of the blades on turbines in the UK, a buyout of the factory and worker control of it, and better Energy and Climate Change policies from govt, businesses, trade unions, individuals etc. Get on it!

From London Waterloo to Ryde, via Portsmouth (you can figure out yr own connections to london).

05:00 - 08:02
06:15 - 09:02
07:30 - 10:02

after that there are a few trains every hour

price from london is also ~£30 with a railcard I think...

alternatively you can go via southampton to east cowes. trains arrive at 8:02, 9:02, and 10:02, but I can't tell you when they leave, cos I'm not going via london....

It's crucial people get down ASAP because the blades can only be loaded from the factory to the barges around high tides. one more tonight, then after lunch tomorrow (I think, look it up..)
