That'd be a different M1 from the one that doesn't go to Birmingham,
then? ;-)

It would be the first section, junctions 2 to 18, which was considered to
be the London to Birmingham motorway until further bits were built from
1965 on.

Then it was supposed to end here, at Leeds. Now it's extended even
further.

To get past Leeds to the A64 around York? The A1 M1 link road? A fair bit of
the motorway (inc M621) was renamed as the junction was created.

It now means there are 6 lanes of standing traffic at rush hour where the
A1, M1 and M62 roughly join each other instead of the three lanes of
standing traffic that we had before.

Is that progress?
