Number 10 appears to be moving Benfleet station to the Blinking Owl
intersection (where the A130 crosses the A127). That'll be an
interesting project.


No, they're showing it moving to where the A13 crosses the A130, an even
more interesting project.

confirm that before I add it to Wiki's list of Magic Roundabouts. Does it
have a name?

On Question Time last night, Tony Benn was saying that the way to solve
the low turnout at elections was to make voting compulsory. I think the

wall-to-wall *******s. -- John Rowland

Hmm, on second thoughts I think you're right. That makes the two yellow
