shouldn't be driving one then
Railton Road
- Thread starter ncop
- Start date
seemed a simple question...
Some people don’t have a simple choice like that
Travelling back north, the most direct route

obviously it's 90 centimetres longer than that

and a 13 metre one is 100 centimetres longer even than that
from where to where? must be fairly easy for you to answer - you literally just did it. I would love to see if Google Maps tells me to go down Railton Road. I think I know it won't.
We stayed at Crystal Palace Camping and caravan park, then on to Leicester, then after an overnight stop, headed back north

join south circular, go round to north circular, fuck off up north, no need to go near Brixton let alone though it!
Funny, it’s 9.1 metre with a 4.1 metre trailer with my all terrain wheelchair and luggage, the adaptations to the motorhome with specialist bed means luggage areas are taken up with medical equipment, hence the trailer. I need a specific bed for my medical needs, paraplegic and double amputee that will prevent skin damage. I would love one of those big American motorhomes, however I know it would not be suitable for touring the uk or my medical requirements.
Just me and my wife, as I say, fit for purpose for my medical requirements
No need for the language my friend, at the time, the south circular was blocked. I guess you think you own London and expect northern folk to pay excessive taxes to fund your local area
9.1 metre motorhome with a 4.1 metre trailer. Should have been more specific, sorry

That's a silly comment given how much tax money flows out from London to the rest of the country, and that penalty fines are not taxes.
Was the south circular blocked by traffic by any chance? Did you not consider it might be wise to keep such a large vehicle to major roads instead of trying to cut through places to save some time?

Do you have a trailer licence then? Or did you pass your test before a separate licence was needed?
Lots of problems round where I live with folk not being prepared or able to reverse their vehicles down the lanes, especially when there are tractors and stuff about.

Out of interest, have you read through the comments on this thread since posting this agreement with OP's opener? I Assume you hadn't read further when you said this.

To be honest, I think that you have been sanctimonious to the point of offensiveness.

shrug not my intention honestly but I can see why you'd say that, and I do think it was their own fault, and their digs at london are silly. I think they'd be much better off to self-reflect instead of trying to blame London and Londoners for their mistake.
But so much in their OP is simply flat out wrong, I wondered if you still agreed with them.
Sorry, I never said fines were taxes. All working folk pay taxes and have the equal right to travel throughout the UK. When local authorities start blocking the freedom of passage, then it seems taxes are being aimed at accommodating the capital. All taxes are a collective and London doesn’t have its own tax collective I believe, so the comment, London taxes support the North is a bit out there. If we are going down the route that more tax payers money is going North, then you need to look as to why. All those MP’s & Lords making decisions to cripple the industries up North and resort to imported goods for one. I understand that a massively over budget underground system has been implemented in London and a HS2 project that is vastly overspent (to save 20 minute, but not required) is being spent from tax payers money, I really don’t believe Londoners have solely paid for that. I think you need to wake up and smell the roses my friend
For all those that say they would have avoided Railton Road, I totally agree with you now, but at the time, we knew no different. Most people use satnavs these days and become reliant on the. All I was trying to say was if roads are going to be blocked off, at least the information is shared across all networks, allowing travelers the freedom to travel across the uk without restrictions
