Ok Just got of the phone to a very helpful young lady at LR Liverpool!

The factory tours have now begun at £10 a pop and and are available Mon-Thursday AM / PM or Fridays AM only.

The off-road site is still under construction (I have some photo's for those interested PM me!) and will not be available until well into February by the sounds of things.

So I propose for those local lets do the £10 tour first on Friday 2nd Feb followed later in the year by the Gold full day £190 tour.

Thoughts?

I went on the Beyond The Legend Halewood tour a couple of weeks ago and it was excellent. You arrive at the visitor centre have a cup of tea / coffee and biscuits before going on the tour.
The usual safety things are said and off you go around the factory with a set if small head phones so you can hear the guide. I went round Halewood about 30 years ago when the mk2 Escort was being built and what a difference it is today. The biggest difference is the number of robots used (an orange colour robot indicates it's used on FL2 production.
On the tour you are not allowed near the paint shop area but it is amazing how the things all come together to make the final product.
Well worth £10 each and I think the tour lasted about 90 minutes. One thing to note though you have to walk around the factory.
