One thing at a time. That's a 20-30 year project. Also the economics get
somewhat sketchier further north. However London to Edinburgh will still
benefit by using it as a trunk route - just like the M1 can be used to make
a quicker journey than the A1 all the way (less of an issue since the A1 has
lost all the roundabouts and single sections it used to have).


The last time I drove on the M1 it ended in Leeds!

The first time I drove on the M1 it ended at Rugby:-(

When the Preston by-pass - Britain's first motorway - opened was it
called the M6 or did they wait until there was more motorway built
before adopting the name?
