When I used to work out of STN, I'd come down the A11 and leave at Stump Cross then use the old A11 route through Newport etc to avoid the M11 and the perennial gridlock when the lights failed with monotonous regularity on the A120 flyover/M11 STN exit. Saved loadsa time and usually about 5 mins quicker anyway as I wasn't stuck behind lorries, one doing 35mph and one overtaking at 35.1mph for about 10 miles!!!!!!
