M1 past Luton is a nightmare! Avoid!

Its much better now since they've tarted up airport to m25...

The car needs to be there for lunchtime and I will be leaving late the evening before, with the intention of travelling overnight then parking up in the services nearest the destination and catching up on my kip. Also gives a good margin for probs en route...

does the M1 still have that huge 50mph limit section? If so, and its a late night run, i would do M40 instead of M1.

That 50mph section is massive, and has average cameras. Could make up a lot of time on M40 if doing usual outside lane speeds
Yes, still 50 limit. M40 is a bloody ridiculous idea though. Apart from going the wrong way, the 50 limit is further north than the m40....

It's the wrong side of the country

Sorry Tunnie, just checked the map. Thanks for the 'interesting' diversion and, as much as I like getting Tesco points on the companies fuel card, doubt I would be able to explain that one away!

M1 - 407 miles & 7 hours:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Edinburgh&daddr=M1+to:51.677665,0.123596&hl=en&geocode=FWC7VQMdsFzP_ykjJpilALiHSDEnF-d8exTyZA%3BFWzzGgMdqFn0_w%3B&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=2&sz=9&via=1&sll=51.68618,0.041199&sspn=1.282196,3.556824&ie=UTF8&ll=51.818803,-0.076904&spn=2.556923,7.113647&z=8

M40 - 431 & 7 hours 21 mins

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Edinburgh&daddr=52.116626,-1.345825+to:M40+to:M25&hl=en&geocode=FWC7VQMdsFzP_ykjJpilALiHSDEnF-d8exTyZA%3B%3BFTb7FgMdKLLu_w%3BFbiZFAMd-rgBAA&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=8&via=1,2&sll=52.116626,0.181274&sspn=2.539992,7.113647&ie=UTF8&z=8

So its 21 mins longer? You would easily make that up going M40 at 80 rather than 50.... (come on everyone does 80)

Its 20 more miles too, but, i bet which ever car you are taking (assuming big Jag / Landy?) will be more fuel efficient at 80, than 50.

Don't think its quite so ridiculous

I reckon my tractor was about double mpg doing 80 than doing 40. Related to the TC lockup I guess.

Probably a shade too far North, but sure we could offer you a lumpy matress in the room where all the junk gets stored....

My 2.2 is more economical at shade under 80, than doing 50.

From your start point to my amended finish point of the bottom of the M11, it shows 382 miles versus 415 miles. Times are the same, but the A1 option includes the A68 which I prefer to avoid, TBH..
