At last.. it's time to tackle Manchesters orbital motorway... the M60. It's a story of many bodge jobs and cancelled projects.. nothing new then. In this episode we'll be taking in abandoned railway stations, shopping centres and nuclear bunkers. All of this and more from the famous M60 motorway.
In this series we aim to explore what our motorway network is hiding. As we drive along at 70mph..ish...we simply just wouldn't be aware of what we're missing. This series aims to uncover some of the hidden secrets our motorways have to offer.

It's pronounced Molyneux.

An American who finds your detailed motorway videos very fascinating. BTW, on the map you displayed, I spotted my mother's birthplace - Mossley. (She was a war bride.)

Blankety Blank theme at the end RIP Lily Savage/ Paul O’Grady

[@thomash2806]

That ‘suspension’ bridge isn’t one; it’s a cable stay bridge.

[@David_D.]

A nice nod to Paul O'Grady at the end there. 👏🏻👏🏻

That suspension bridge isn't a suspension bridge - it's a cable stayed bridge.

[@jonntischnabel]

I'm surprised you didn't mention that Barton bridge was the first work undertaken on the entire motorway network. And NO this isn't the Preston bypass, that was the first section OPEN.

Not all of the Trafford Park Industrial Estate has disappeared, which is hardly surprising as it was once the largest industrial estate in Western Europe. To compliment that, Heaton Park is in fact the largest municipal park in Western Europe.

i like the way you ended with the theme tune to "blankety blank", in tribute to Paul O'Grady

I wish the pyramid had been owned by an egyptian investment company.

[@aps-pictures9335]

Damn that last shot, what a waste that huge ruin is just locked away

[@10rGreenninja]

All looks very familiar to me as it's local to me 🙂

[@CharityAngelSpectrum]

Wait, what? Theyre actually sorting Simister Island out? About bloody time

[@sohamedmalah6008]

lol junction 5 is a death trap 😂 especially when you’re coming from the Trafford centre direction and you want to immediately get off the A5103 to go left to northenden or right to sale / sale moor

[@andyxox4168]

It’s a lie that the M60 is a continuous loop as Simister island fcuks it up!

[@samw5644]

how did you actually make motorway facts interesting?! nice one!

[@TalesOfWar]

Simister REALLY needs rethinking, it's a constant bottle neck on the entire road network around here. When it's blocked up the traffic overflows to the regular roads which aren't designed for that kind of volume at all so it turns into a car park, or a very slow moving traffic jam.

I thought the M25 is a circler motorway
