Is that because you won't be alive long enough to worry?

Snake pass is fairly quick route because it's short, should take about the same time (1hr 15) and is much less miles. I used to do it reg from mid cheshire to Sheff used to take 1hr 40 and 30 mins of that was from manchester to cheshire

It's the route between where the Snake and Woodhead join, and the city centre that takes all the time. I've tried the woodhead, the snake, the route through ChapelEnLeFrith and M1-M62. All except the last route take over 2 hours at busy times.

Concur. If good reason a longer route is ok. IR say that somewhere either booklet 480 or 490.

Mileage

Originally posted by PerlOfWisdom

I am contracting in Manchester and live in Sheffield.

The shortest route (35 miles - Woodhead A628) takes 2 hours to drive, but I can get there in just over an hour by taking the M1, M62 - 70 miles.

Can I claim tax on the mileage for the route that I actually take, or am I only allowed the shortest route?

What time of the morning do you travel!? Takes longer than that to clear Leeds on the M62, just like a big car park!!

The increased mileage is justified and can be claimed.
