Interesting to see the H2D crop up. At Scampton in the early 70s, there was a large number of people lived in Saxilby village, private and hirings, the official MT route was a dog leg via Sturton village, 9 miles, but there was a "rat run" which was only 5 miles. Everyone I knew, all ranks, claimed the 9 miles but commuted via the "rat run".
