Re: Yet More Buses for Catshill
A very good description of The Forest junction, now of course junction 1 of the M42. I agree about three lane roads which Worcestershire Highways were quite keen on. To have two overtaking vehicles heading towards each other in the same centre lane sounds lunacy now........and it was then. Quite a f...

Re: Alexcars closes
