I've been there at start of service, about 0800 and not one vehicle was blocking the road. Theres two entrances to AN, the emergency gates and the main entrance. Theres also two routes to the depot entrance, theres the Asda roundabout and the Lidl roundabout, meaning that if the road by McDonalds and the police station is congested the can go the other direction. If both routes are inaccessible, police assistance is required.
The Sapphire X21/X22 have now achieved 90% punctuality... Certainly not due to lorries blocking the entrance.
