Terminal roundabout, view north, 14 February 1997

Terminal roundabout, view north (see all photos of the same view)

Little has changed at the terminal roundabout since October: diverted traffic travelling between the M6 and A6 is still taking a temporary course around one side of the roundabout. In the distance, the full second carriageway of the A6 dualling project can be seen, nearing completion but not yet tied in at either end.

The one great attempt to make London’s streets logical - and how one retired chauffeur’s favourite routes changed the way you get around the capital.

M25 Orbital Motorway

The M25 is either one of the greatest transport achievements of the 20th century or one of Britain's largest planning failures, depending on which way you look at it. This booklet takes the former view, celebrating the completion of the circuit in 1986.
