There are also:
- the Tyne Tunnel (rejoicing in the title "A19" - it used to be the A1),

Point of information:
The Tyne Tunnel was never the A1. The A1 was the road over the Tyne
Bridge. The Western Bypass is now the A1.


Point of information: The Tyne Tunnel *was* intended to be on the A1.

According to my 1990 OS Atlas the A1 (T) followed what is now the
A194(M), the A184 and then the A19. The Western bypass is under
construction and expected to open mid 1990. I too can remember being driven
through the tunnel in the 70's with signs reading A1.

I can't work out whether the Tyne tunnels are Trunk routes, but the
Humber Bridge definitely is not, nor are the Mersey tolled crossings.
