m11 what a great motorway

londonTiger

wow, pretty nice motorway, not traffic, no roadworks, just put your crusie control on and enjoy your music and the sceneary.


incidently this connects wealthy people to london, a bit like the harrow flyover (although the excuse is often made that its designed to connect heathrow to baker street)

Do you think there's a conspiracy between the fact that rich people get all this lovely infrastructure around their towns or is it just a matter of the fact that rich people dont live on top of each other like poor people do.

if you went from Heathrow to Baker street via Harrow you'd be an even bigger fool than you appear from your previous threads.

M11 no traffic?

Maybe the first week it opened, and maybe still at 3am if its not closed for roadworks, try it northbound between Stansted and Cambridge on a Friday afternoon, Southbound on a Sunday afternoon or any weekday morning.

I suppose it is all relative though. The OP hasn't ventured beyond London before by the sounds of it.

M11 to Cambridge, Norwich and Newmarket, not to forget Mildenhall and the Thetford Forest and Duxford. Some parts are a bit wobbly with more than enough potholes and cracks etcetra, so I don't know when the OP was last on it. Probably just trying to get a bite. And I think he's mixing Harrow up with Hounslow. :cool:

Wow OP, don't ever drive on the M74 (or the M6 north of preston, come to that), they'll blow your mind!

Or the M8 over the Kingston Bridge. Or the M80 between Old Inns and Auchenkilns. Or the M8 past Falkirk and Livingston. (If you like traffic jams)

No, I don't think so.

I invite you to drive in and around Oxford and you'll be in no doubt... Everyone gets terrible roads.

Indeed, and peak times around but especially roads leading into Oxford are gridlocked, i end up taking all sorts of alternatives to avoid the A40 especially of a morning, starts queueing at Witney from just after 7am.
