    By my reckoning - 1hr journey is commutable daily. So that makes it local!

    So it definitely depends on viewpoints...
    If I was doing that it would be M18, A1, M62 as it may be longer but would be consistent.

    The one time recently I did J38-36 it took 90 minutes I really should have taken the diversion.
