[Big Jeff]

Does Houghton cut have under tarmac heating?

Someone has just told me it has and he is not the type to take the watta

Is it heated in bad weather?

It used to have it, was excess hot water from the nearby pit I think.

What they found, however, was on icy days the water ran to the bottom of the hill where it refroze into a massive ice patch, rendering the idea useless.

I was in a pub last night when a bloke came in with a roll of tarmac under his arm.

He ordered two beers: "One for him and one for the road".

I heard a story about back in the day the passengers used to have to get off the bus so the bus could drive up Houghton Cut

Exactly that.

It was steeper than it is now. Think it's been levelled off over the years.

Has it not just been worn away with all the traffic going over it?

Piece of black tarmac kicked up a right fuss in my local and got booted out by the barman. Then this piece of green tarmac comes in, acts like a right bellend, but the barman just keeps serving him free pints whenever he demands them, shitting himself.

When the green tarmac walked out I asked the barman why he dealt with the black tarmac so quickly but was so sheepish with the other.

He said "Mux lad, black tarmac is black tarmac, but that other ones a cyclepath"

Dug by frenchie prisoners iirc, which inspired the fancy Gallic suffix for houghton.

Yesterday a speed camera west bound just as you go down the bank then another further on up the hill
What a waste of resources

Remember coming back from Durham train station one time in a taxi in blizzard like conditions got to the cut and there were cars stranded all over. This taxi driver weaves in and out and conquered it got me home. Keanu reeves will play the taxi driver in the movie.

The le Spring was summit to do with early settlers, not frogs?
Fenchouses apparently got its name as that's where the French pows were kept

Yes I made it up. I used to like looking out for the road lights from a distance when we travelled up at night. Nearly as good as spotting pensher mononument in the daytime.
