Brings back happy memories of trips with my Grandad from Wellingborough to Northampton on the old United Counties double deckers. Route is the same up to Earls Barton, then the new A45 comes into play. Before this was built, the bus went through Weston Favel on what is now the A4500 and on to the Wellingborough Road into Northampton.

[@PurpleVision23]

The X47 still takes that very same route. I want that one next

[@daveanderson70]

I did not expect this mega sound track! I love to ride my bike from my daughter’s house taking this route. Hope you and yours are keeping well.

You can take the boy out of the hood but ya can't get the hood out of the boy I say

[@PayneKiller]

Noticed in the description the failed dual-carriage - was the A4500 originally intended to be a dual-carriage way and any idea how comes it was never completed?

[@PurpleVision23]

Yep. I learned it at Wellingborough Museum. Wilby protested and then highways realised it was easier to build further down the vally

[@davidread9106]

Can you do the 50 Bedford to Kettering next 😂

[@PurpleVision23]

I'll try
