Tell me about it!! You learn to use that stretch of the A1 during non-peak times. Didn't realise they were extending from Catterick immediately though.... and it' still a long way to Newcastle if the plan is to A1(M) it all the way up.  |

Thing is, my village cricket pitch is bigger than this bloody roundabout and it`s the second "solution" that the HA have come up with! The first was divide it up into dedicated lanes with was completely unsuccessful as no-one took any notice of them! |
