Quite pleased not to live down south tbh would be a pain to hit queues to and from work. Have not most switched to commuter trains yet? Beeching destroyed a magnificent train network and even now would be easy to get to Newcastle from Consett or Stanley had the line not been ripped up. Think of all the haulage currently on the roads that could have gone on our network if the tw@t had kept his fingers off.
In short not where I live but probably to and from the toon in the rush hour.

Did Beeching close the Consett and Stanley stations? There were still trains running when the steel works was open but I don't know if there were any passenger services.

The A1 from the Angel to North of Gosforth in either direction is a fkin disgrace. It's like driving round a car park, especially the 50 mph zone.
Considering it's the A1 and therefore by definition the major route between the Norf and Saarf - why is it reduced to 50 for what - 7 or so miles on dual carriageway? Its taking the pi55 that these restrictions only occur up here except for a tiny portion down south where it passes through a village.
What do we want? Easter bonnets! When do we want em? Xmas!!

Well, if you think that was bad you are welcome to try the roads of Jakarta. A 20 Km trip could take up to 2 hours. Some time on road that looks like Freddie Kruger's face.
