Welcome

to our site all about the A6 and M6 roads and the counties, cities, towns and villages the A6 and M6 road passes through along the way. We will be updating the gallery, links page, and adding more user feedback giving visitors an opportunity to contribute to the site .... Watch this space! We have just about finished the basic structure for the A6 in Cumbria and have just crossed the border into Lancashire and are now as far south as the village of Forton just south of the historic city of Lancaster

The M6 is being extended northward to take in the Cumberland Gap on the A74, As well as having new direction signs installed north of Junction 32 more on this can be found on our new M6 News Page

A6 Trunk Road

We are building this section north to south, we look at the route of the A6, how it developed from Roman roads through Saxon and Norman times and Turnpikes to become the A6 in the Twentieth century and currently look at the northern and midland counties as far South as Leicestershire. The A6 runs from today from Luton in the south, however in times past it ran from London going northwest to eventually end in Carlisle. The M6 contains the Preston Bypass britain's first motorway, from here it has been extended north and south so today it runs from the M1 just east of Rugby to just north of Carlisle.  (more)

M6 Motorway

We have finished the basic structure of the pages of the M6 including the M6 route, and on outline of the motorway through the different counties as well as details of all of the junctions, some we have added moving flash movies including looking at 2 dangerous junctions 34 at Lancaster and 19 at Knutsford. We look at how queues form on motorways by means of moving Flash movies looking at how a regular queue forms approaching junction 32 at Preston. We also look at a lost junction near Shap, and, and the most famous junction of all Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham (more)

Cities, Towns & Villages

This too is being built north to south at the moment we have nearly finished Cumbria and will be starting Lancashire shortly. Cumbria sections include the city of Carlisle and Towns of Penrith and Kendal, including some of the histories, photos and information about the town. We have also included pages about the villages on the A6 currently we are as far south as Forton in Lancashire

Live Content

We  are progressively introducing more live news including News about the counties the A6 & M6 passes through also travel news for the area. Anything that goes happens on the A6 or M6 will eventually be reported here at the moment there is a Live News Travel News Page for Cumbria and a  similar page for Lancashire meaning that we have already covered about a third of the M6 and over a quater of the A6
