That will be great - we can save 10 minutes and join the Tirau tailbacks sooner. When will they by-pass that pensioners paradise?

Never whilst we have a Labour Government in power.

Yes exactly, Labour to busy by-passing every thing that comes there way.

You should feel privileged and congratulate yourself that you have managed to join the Tirau tailback.

Some vehicles unfortunately do not get as far as Tirau.

Yes I drove Akld to Hamilton last month, had been on it before, but not since they finished the HUntly bit.
It was great! Loved it. BIL in Huntly (who works in Hamilton) was complaining about condition of it, saying it disintegrates and is repaired frequently, but I saw none of that, just a lovely drive all the way! It's how all our highways should be.

Oh heck that certainly put my 1 hour Cambridge - Tirau into perspective. At least I was ‘crawling’ on SH1.
