6th February 2010
Those avidly following the long-running saga of my unreliable motor car will be pleased to know that it has been behaving itself lately, and earlier this week was good enough to convey me all the way to Reigate and back again without incident.
That's why, this week, I am able to bring you a new Photo Gallery of the Reigate Tunnel. It's only little, and you can't even drive through it any more, but it is the world's first road tunnel - which makes it more than interesting enough for me to go have a nose around with my camera.
I'm going to try taking my car to Leeds in the coming week, so if you're on the A1 and you see someone in hysterics assaulting a broken-down Fiesta, give me a wave.
Missed last week? See the list of updates.

Welcome to CBRD
If you've never been here before, then welcome to the site. CBRD (Chris's British Road Directory) is dedicated to the study of the entire road network of mainland Britain. These days there's a lot of sites on this subject - but CBRD remains the biggest, the most comprehensive and the most frequently updated. It contains information on most aspects of the network and is frequented by enthusiasts, officials, engineers and everyday road users alike. I aim to make the information on the site accessible to everybody, both in the way it's written and the way it's presented.
CBRD has no politics. It is not a pro-roads protest or campaign site. It is a reference site which aims to provide up-to-date and useful information on the road network of Great Britain. To find out more about what CBRD is, where it comes from, and what it's trying to do, take a look at the About CBRD section.
I hope you enjoy the site!
Chris
