Top Gear hosts 'broke on-site speed limits' at historic Retford power station

Top Gear's visit to a historic power station near Retford saw the presenters 'breaking the on-site speed limits', it has emerged. Coal-fired power station West Burton A sits on the Lincolnshire boarder.

Much has been done to commemorate its legacy as it nears the end of its life. Decommissioning manager Nigel Wallis spoke of the mixture of optimism and melancholy ahead of West Burton A going 'cold and dark' in March.

Lincolnshire Live reports residents, however, are thrilled by the prospect of the site hosting 'revolutionary' new nuclear technology. The site will become home to the STEP reactor, the UK's first commercial fusion reactor.
