A57(M) Mancunian way has a 50 limit, but then it is only about three quarters of a mile long.

From what I remember of the Mancunian Way you are lucky to get out of low range most of the time! :laughing: :laughing:

In my earlier days the A74 was a 40mph limit almost all of the way and them Jock coppers policed it with enthusiasm :stuck_out_tongue:

:laughing: Ayup,I remember those coppers too,very keen,and driving through Appleby on A66 on the way up could be fun in summer :wink: cheers Joe.

The A66 has been dualled in quite a few locations now. I was based at Catterick in the early 90’s, it was a nightmare driving across to reach the M6 down to Liverpool :unamused:

Ayup,wouldnt A1-M62 have been a better route.I used A66 and up to Glasgow in 90s and thought it was a piece of cake compared to when Id first driven it.Guess you must put me in the oldtimer group,but I can still remember,SORRY,just forgotten what I was going to say. :wink: :wink:

Not really, as I lived at the end of the M58, it was easier down to J26 than along the 58. It was a lot longer travelling down the A1 across the 62 then back up the 57 just to end up a the same place :sunglasses:
