Dukesy 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 So which is your worst city / town to drive for a gig? For me, Nottingham. Hate it. When I have to, I am not a merry-man. Closely followed by Derby....don't like driving through that place either. Manchester, Liverpool, London, Basildon, don't really bother me! Yours? Link to post Share on other sites
Gary (GDK) 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Newcastle. The one way systems, bus lanes etc make it a nightmare. It's also bad to cycle through. Sunderland used to be bad, but its much better now since they closed down the old bus station a fair few years ago (I was at school when this happened!). When I've being to Derby though, it didn't seem to bad. This is also some places I would avoid during rush hour completely no matter what, these icluding the Tyne Tunnel and th A19 next to the A690 (Durham turn off) as there is a business park there and too many workers!

superstardeejay 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I thought Stoke was bad enough 'till I tried to get to central London from Stevenage at 6.30pm. Still, London is a big city with big city problems, so I excuse it. Stoke is a small city with big city problems, so I can't. . Link to post Share on other sites
McCardle 1 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) Anywhere between Penrith and Kendal when winter comes and the snow begins to fall. We've been blessed with some very mild winters in the last few years, and when it is bad a detour via the M6 can literally double or treble the usual 'A' and 'B' road mileage to a venue. Resisting the urge to get a Chelsea Tractor because of the tax situation, but the first real bad winter may be the one which justifies it. At the minute we've only got localised flooding and raging torrents down to the hills to contend with . In a few months it'll be ungritted icy roads :fright: Edited August 24, 2009 by McCardle "The voice of the devil is heard in our land" 'War doesn't determine who is right, war determines who is left, and you wont win this war.'

glenn knights 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 For me it's Ipswich. The Council seem to be anti car/van/lorry and make it very hard to get about. Cheers, Glenn.

Welsh Audio Man 21 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Travelling through Halifax and back into Keighley this late morning was terrible. So much roadworks in an area which seems to have such heavy traffic anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
cmj 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Edinburgh has always been a nightmare what with an overly interfering council but since the tram works(which are over budget already) its nigh on impossible. . . . . And the routes change every other day. Link to post Share on other sites

I was in Cambridge yesterday, well in a small village just out side Cambridge, Cottenham. It is full of speed bumps which are a pain in the proverbial back side when towing a caravan :crap: Jim Link to post Share on other sites

These things are sent to try us, apparently Keep smelling Glenn. Liverpool is a city which is underpopulated, so its heaven to drive in, overeared a man from brum saying he was amazed it took 5 mins to get in city centre and he could easily park Birmingham is a nightmare, its just too busy and that m6 is a joke but speedbumps are a pain i admint, they are probably responsible for 50% of audio fauls, and we should have magic keys that make them retract when we carry audio equipment.
