We need to talk about Wisley
National Highways are spending a third of a billion pounds rebuilding one of the most congested junctions on the M25. Is it money well spent?
Oxford's Ground Zero

EuroRoute
Today you can catch a train to France. You can even put your car on it, and be there in less than an hour. But in the 1980s, Euro Tunnel had competition - including plans to build a motorway across the English Channel.
My brother lives in the c-charge zone (I used to, now in zone 2) - in honesty the general vibe in inner London is fewer cars is better. Residents discount makes it affordable, and there’s no desire to wind back the clock and have more people driving in (and no road space for it, and no support for wider roads).
I’ve got on my bike a lot more since lockdown started - for the best I think. We can’t go back to the old normal as the old normal got us here.
Some of the comments on here / Sabre show what a different world London is in vs the countryside / other towns - saying we should bring back the M41 / A40(M), etc. We’re closer to roads being ripped up than more coming in now.
