There must be someone out there in the government, with a miniscule amount of intelligence, to know that Sheffield & scumchester…[ 3rd & 4th largest city’s in the UK ?? ] still have not got a main road linking the two !!
I’ve got a 5.30 am start tomorrow to make sure I get to work by 7.30am. 2 hrs to drive 52 miles !! the last 16 miles are on the M67/M60.. the rest is winding my way up hill & down dale through dozens of villages !!
I’m now working in Oldham, prior to that I was in Longsite…… just 39 miles from home, & yet It took me 2 ½ hrs one morning to get there !!
The snake pass is shut at the moment for resurfacing work, & that ..realistically.. is my only option of traversing the pennines, from where I live. My only other routes are;
Woodhead pass. . . would mean getting to the other side of Sheffield 1st, so not really an option
M62. . . 40 miles north of me !!
Castleton, tintwistle, A6 . . . have you seen the traffic ??
Cat & fiddle . . . do me a favour !!
someone.... FFS... build me a motorway !!
