RIP. Too busy & mixed up a stretch of road, its a poster boy for segregation.
+1, the mess of the roads down that bit because of segragated bus lanes and that farcical on road/off road cycle lane around Wilbraham Rd junction make it too much for the eye to take in.
It's actually a great route into Manchester before 8am as most people use the A34/A6. After that, forget it.
RIP
