Roade Bypass.

Hello JMF, I hope that you are well.

I was just wondering if you knew approximately when the Roade Bypass opened; I am currently working on the History section of the 'A508 road' page, but I can't find any good/reliable sources. If you don't know, then no worries.

Kind regards, Roads4117 (talk) 06:26, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

No idea. Roade Parish Council site? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 07:50, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Ok no worries. I will check that website out now. Roads4117 (talk) 08:05, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Swanbourne picture

Hi! You asked about the location of the photo of Swanbourne that I uploaded some years back. It's actually closer to Newton Longville. It's looking towards the bridge carrying the road from NL to Bottledump Roundabout, from the Bletchley side. Tom walker (talk) 11:35, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

ta, I have updated the caption at Varsity Line accordingly. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:04, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
