Round the houses again

Access to Cranfield when there's a road closure is a barrel of laughs. Not. So here's the latest one affecting Marston Hill, our umbilical connection with the rest of Central Beds and the east of England. 

It appears to be in good cause - more road repairs in other words ( "patching and surface dressing works" )  so no doubt we should be patient.  Here's the notice, below. It does of course mean the round the houses diversion via Salford but why they are sending us via the "Old" A421 I don't know. Maybe we will find out more at PC on Wednesday. 

There will be the usual chaos with the buses.
