... much like they were saying: Remember the M25? It's still quicker to get from one side of London to the other than it was before it was built. So it's still doing its job, at the moment. Despite now requiring two more lanes at enormous expense? Shows just how succesful it is. And how essential the inner Ringways (the ones that didn't get built) were.

... in which you live, a run down street in run down town bisected by a noisy motorway, near a noisy railway, a stone's thow from the noisy A6, overflown by screaming jets heading for Ringway and Woodford, polluted beyond belief, not your income. Still it's handy for the pubs, I suppose, or possibly within staggering distance of several pubs. Yet he still has to take his bike! ...

... early seventies, just around the time all the new development was underway. They tore down the old bus station and built the new and ripped out a lot of the heart of the town and built roads and ringways. Last time I visited my old home town was in 1991 and I hardly recognised it. I did like the renovation of the Miller Arcade and they still hadn't pulled down my old local, the Black Horse ...

... M23 originally supposed to have continued further north than it does now? Yes, it was to have continued as far as Balham, from where spurs would have connected it to the inner London Ringway ("London Motorway Box"). The only bits of the latter to be built were the sections either side of the Blackwall Tunnel, plus the tiny bit of (former) motorway from Westway down to the Shepherd's...

Any information herzlich willkommen. -- Joyce Whitchurch, Stalybridge, UK ================================= Old enough to remember when MAN was still Ringway and had Alcock and Brown's biplane hanging up in the departure hall By the way, you'll get a much more authoritative answer if you have a look at PPrune.

....google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=51.382013,-0.12222...
