The motorway that disappeared
It's one of the UK's oldest motorways - it was joint second to open - but it ceased to exist in 2009 when widening works on the M1 disconnected it from the motorway network. The former M10 is now part of the A414.
This video takes you back to 11 October 2003, to an M1 that hadn't been widened yet and a little spur that was still called the M10. So much has changed that the first half of this journey is unrecognisable, but the second half has seen so few changes that it's still recognisably a motorway from 1959.

The road that made no sense
It was the UK's only single-carriageway motorway, and twenty years ago it ceased to exist. This is the story of the strange fascination it held, and of my place in history.
The forever bottleneck, part 2
The second part of the story, where we learn why exactly the M4 gets narrower on the final approach to Europe’s biggest city.
The forever bottleneck, part 1
The M4 into London was one of the UK's earliest and most ambitious motorway projects. It was bold, pioneering... and almost instantly regretted.
