    How scary the motorway looks without central crash barriers. Like the 'Peak' at the end, too.

      its a Class 40 Diesel / or known by the slang name - 1960's trainspotters as a
      ` Big D `. Yeah the Motorway does have a dangerous look to it . Great record though of Britains 19sixties transport scene

    I can remember frequent trips up and down the M6 (Birmingham to Carnforth) mid 60’s with my dad , occasionally stopping at Keele services, hoping to see the odd E type flash past at warp speed , the yellow loading shovel is a Weatherill 12H 😎

    Looks like the site of the former Betley Road station at the end

    Good old days, where the Tarmac was Thick and Hard, not like these days, thin layer

    If only it was still like this, it would make my life a lot easier. Now of course the M6 is just one big roadworks making it into the new highly dangerous 'smart' motorway all the way up. I think you can change smart to dumb in this case as it has taken years to do and people are getting killed due to the lack of hard shoulder.

    Tailgating was impossible, then. Brake checking was never heard of.

    It took for ever to complete the Midlands section and when they did the people who lived around it used it as a serris of bypasses. You had to pick the right time to peel pf the M1 and head for Wales via Shrewsbury. no M54 ,that came in odd sections too. God bless the old A5

    *The M6, is now a smart motorway with you being able to use the hard shoulder as a stop thing it doesn’t look like this anymore it looks way different*

    Regular motorway traffic then, still less than in a present day lockdown

    Looks a bit like that now in that area with the removal of the central crash barrier as they upgrade to a smart motorway

      I can't possibly explain to you how exciting it was to hear the incredible pop music and the sheer live (and sometimes dangerous) atmosphere in every town. Everything was changing and people got their excitement from reality - not wired to a cyber one like you. You are dead compared to 1960s teenagers. You are playing stupid video games - they were racing motorcycles without a helmet with very few rules.- no contest mate.

      Ps. Today's cars may be comfortable and refined - but they are boring and sterile. That's the word that describes modern life - sterile. Perfect/ordered/policed/pointless.
