Then of course there is the great variable in a journey to Ringway...the M62. Some days, 45 mins, others 2 hours?
There is a quicker way. I can't help out in avoiding the hell that is the M62 coming down from Huddersfield but there are several ways to avoid congestion after J21, I live in Milnrow and work in M/C so have tried all of them (I think). All exits from 20 to 18 will get you to Middleton roundabout, the junction of M60 & A576, and from there it is easy and relatively quick to cut across town and get to Princess Parkway (A5103). Take M/C exit which takes you past Heaton Park, carry straight on until at end of Leicester Road, turn R at lights, through one set of lights, next left, carry on until Trinity Way (A6042), turn right follow it and airport is signposted. Knocks almost an hour off in bad traffic.
Anyone got similar for this end to LBA please?
