Leeds v Manchester
I drove the M62 three or four times a week to Manchester Airport in the 90s when I was based there and it was a horrible drive then. I would not want to do it now if a reasonable alternative was available. I have booked Manchester to Australia in April with a stop in Munich. If the Ba flight to Heathrow had been available at the time booking Leeds-Heathrow-Oz would have been my choice to avoid the drive to Manchester.
