The Thameslink Planning Enquiry
Neil Sunderland wrote:
Trunk Roads aren't "schemes" as such, just lengths of existing roads that were taken over by the (then) Ministry of Roads and (the ones that haven't been detrunked, anyway) now maintained by the HA. They were originally defined by the Trunk Roads Acts of 1936 and 1946. For example, Trunk Road 1 is London-Thurso and Trunk Road 8 is London-Penzance (from the 1936 Act) and the now defunct Trunk Road 41 is Taunton-Barnstaple-Fraddon (in the 1946 Act). Without access to a copy of the Acts I can't be certain, but I'd guess the Felixstowe-Southampton Trunk Road was created by the 1946 Act. I did find a complete list recently (and accidentally!), but I can't find it now: the closest I've come is on a posting on the SABRE forum he http://tinyurl.com/bhvqs. It's not complete (or particularly accurate, for that matter); and the numbering isn't really "secret", it's just the order they appear in each Act! Interesting, thanks. |
