Secrets of The Motorway - M621

#yorkshire #motorway #infrastructure

I'm in Leeds this week to look at the M621 motorway.  Leeds would appear to have once been the "Motorway City" of the UK but (fortunately?) things didn't work out how they had in mind.

The short M621 motorway is a blend of failed projects and bodge jobs where the M1 saw an extension before being linked to the South West Urban Motorway.   Learn all about the fascinating story in this weeks episode.  We'll also address the secret tunnel found underneath the motorway... spoiler alert.. I dunno.  

There's a world record holding railway to look at as well... older than some countries!  

In this series we aim to explore what our motorway network is hiding.  As we drive along at 70mph..ish...we simply just wouldn't be aware of what we're missing.  This series aims to uncover some of the hidden secrets our motorways have to offer.
