M62?

The real bugger is when you to use 'The Car Park' or the M6 to the uninitiated. I had to use that sodding thing every weekend to visit my GF in Manchester when I used to work at Pebble Mill. I used to travel late (~2230) so I didn't have to contend with traffic on the Aston Expressway and Spag Junction. Likewise, on the return journey I would leave REALLY late so as not to get caught in the traffic going back to London and the south.

Compared to that, the M62 is positively deserted and it's not like the views over Saddleworth moor are that bad!
