Nobody else seems to have mentioned it, so I will; the Coulsdon bypass
opened sometime yesterday,18-12-06. It was closed when I went to work,
but had opened by the time I came home.

Is there a point to the Coulsdon bypass? All it will do is shift the
usual traffic jams half a mile up the road to where it rejoins the old
A23. I can't believe digging up all those green fields not to mention
the millions it must of cost was really worth it.

That is the point of the bypass - it is supposed to move the traffic
jams from Coulsdon town centre to somewhere else. I don't think there
were many green fields dug up - at least half the bypass is through the
site of Coulsdon North station and carriage sheds.
