Best directions to get to Powestation
Guys,
Can anyone local to the area advise the best possible way to get to Powerstation.
I be coming via the Heathrow area.
On the M4 come off at Junction 15 and follow the a419/a417 and then onto M5 blah blah blah.
I haven't been there during the morning hours and most certainly not during the rush hour times. And because I am not local I don't know what the traffic will be like.
Would you suggest skipping the A road route and take the longer route via M4 to M5 etc?
How built up does it get?
I know it seems like a silly question etc.

My advice - stick to M4/M5 and it's just off the M5 junction at Tewksbury. Traffic on the 417/419 in the rush hour can be a complete nightmare -I should know I drive it several times a week. Motorways are a bit longer, but should be quicker....

Guys,
Got there in good time to be honest. Only hold up I had was where there doing the road works on the A417 for the new road etc.
Only trouble I had in terms of my Sat Nav was it took me towards the M5 (South bound) which took me another 22 miles or so out and then had to come back on my self. Bugger.
Whilst there I had the great service as ever from Curtis and co. I was chatting with Karl (thats for the Espresso double shots lol ) also and was in dream land in the new shop upstairs. How cool is that place. If you have never been get yourself up there. Also take some snaps of the spray painted murial of Colin McRae. It is fantastic.
Car feels great. I had some goodies added including the Whiteline rack bushes.
