The slip road is too big a piece of land to lie unused in
this expensive part of London without a reason.
Has it seen any use since the M1 was extended?

I couldn't tell you when, but it was used at least once when
the normal exit was blocked for overnight maintenance work.

Thanks. Its existence can't be crucial, though, because AFAIK the comparable
n/b slip no longer exists, even though if it did exist it could still be
used for n/b traffic when the normal *entrance* was blocked for maintenance
work (obviously the s/b traffic would have to be diverted via the s/b slip
as well). Oh, hang on, do you mean the exit at *Junction 2* was closed?

AFA the southbound slip is concerned, I'm beginning to wonder why it it was
closed at all. It would be very useful for people living in Hendon if it was
reopened permanently and called Junction 3. Either that or build on it, but
at the moment its just a waste of land.
