    Hello friend. Greetings from Korea. I booked jcb's Friday factory tour and have some questions. 1. Is it hard to get to that place by public transportation? 2.Or are they running shuttle buses as well? 3. Are experiences such as pt.2 included in the tour?

    • @lifebehindthelevers
      @lifebehindthelevers Год назад

      Hello there Sean, hope you are well. There are public transport options. You would get the train to Uttoxeter Station and then take a bus into Rocester - there is a bus stop about 3 minute walk away from the JCB Visitors Centre. There are no shuttle buses running unfortunately. As for pt2 of the video, that was a demo day for the 4cx. Unfortunately JCB don’t do a public visit to include that. Hope this has helped and you enjoy your trip to JCB 👍
