Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 20:48:45 But they aren't labelled on a map. So they're secret.
Bit bizzare having country roads suddenly turn out into a motorway though. Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: spacey on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 20:55:10 Wow!!!! That's awesome!!!!! Junctions are my favourite kind of road!!! Secret?! Fucking hell!

Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 21:16:03 The junction off the M4 near N**bury, to the weapons silos at Welford are secret in as much as they're not marked on the road or maps....apparently they don't store nukes there now, which is reassuring.....they're all up in Jockoland .

Least the whole world would have to share the burden instead of just STFC fans.

What gets me about that is the "works access" (or similar) sign to tell you where it is. Which would work a hell of lot more secret were it not for it being in standard red/white MOD format. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r66/batch_2001/secretbunker.jpg Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Whits on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 22:08:20 they do still store missles though i believe at welford, or at least when the iraq war kicked off last year again i saw a few unmarked lorrys coming out of there :|
then again they could just be growing grapes and they are taking them to tesco's, who knows Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 22:11:46 Quote from: "Batch" Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" The junction off the M4 near N**bury, to the weapons silos at Welford are secret in as much as they're not marked on the road or maps....apparently they don't store nukes there now, which is reassuring.....they're all up in Jockoland .

Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Whits on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 22:18:07 would have been a fucking mess if they had gone up :|
makes you wonder sometimes... Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Batch on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 22:23:40 Strangely the last caravan from the womens peace camp at Greenham Common only left a few years ago. Presumably the silly bint realised that protesting on the side of what is now a business park was a bit futile.
Then again perhaps people just don't care now. Until recently I lived a stones throw away from AWE in 'Aldermaston' (Tadley really) and even the protests there were half arsed, attended by a few new age hippies with dodgy beards and funny bright stripey knitted clothes. I swear the police could have dispersed them with the threat of soap and water. Lastly Whits, were you the dude with the American girl at the Palace game?

Dont dis stripey knitted clothes....well jumpers.....I did a few Aldermaston marches......after its 50's heyday.....more Aldermaston revisited, chief highlight seeing Mark Bolan, when he was still in his fey hippy phase, with Tyranasaurus Rex.....playing somewhere "in a field in Hampshire" Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: SwindonTartanArmy on Wednesday, January 10, 2007, 22:45:42 Fairly sure they still store nukes at Welford as they are made just down the road near Reading. That is why quite often you get a short stretch of the M4 shut at silly o'clock in the morning, so as they can move the weapons without some cunt in an Astra weaving in and out of a convoy of nukes!

Ha ha, bless her. Apparently she is a teacher and we were giving her some flack about being a Yank over here. She responded by saying "yes, we have to come over and teach all of your stupid idiotic English children" or similar. At which point I produced my 11 year old youngest son. I have never seen such prolonged profuse apologies from an American before... Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Amir on Thursday, January 11, 2007, 00:15:02 Mark Thomas did a program maybe three years ago about hidden places on the map, one of them being the arms dump near Newbury.
He also went to Corsham barracks, underneath which is a bunker system, supposedly to house the leading members of our society in the event of a nuclear strike. They let him down there(anyone can go if they arrange a trip), but you could guess he probably wasn't allowed to see the full extent of it. Alledgely the bunker even contains a replica of a traditional English pub......so everyone will feel at home while we're suffering from the fallout :dead: Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: millom red on Thursday, January 11, 2007, 05:13:23 Some of those that si-pie mentions were indeed nuke missile stores/ bunkers. Others were command and control centres for military. Others were for national and regional govmt in the event of nuclear wars.
The bunkers at corsham are fascinating and fucking huge but no longer used for military purposes. I beleive they are now used as secure storage facilities for financial organisations.

Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: McLovin on Thursday, January 11, 2007, 09:39:59 There are apparently only 2 nuclear bunkers in the country capable of withstanding a nuclear winter and will be used to house some locals for breeding, and some royalty and government folk. One is allegedly under the magistrates court in this very town, the other in Colchester (or Chelmsford, i don't remember...)

Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Northern Red on Thursday, January 11, 2007, 13:17:03 More interesting than secret motorway junctions is the London Underground:
http://www.londonrailways.net/secret.htm Supposedly there's a secret lines around London for use by the government, Buckingham Palace has it's own tube stop, and there's an underground route all the way from London to Corsham into that secret nuclear bunker there. There's a theory that all the crap about not being able to dig for archaology in certain 'protected' places is to prevent someone disrupting underground buildings, roads and railways :shock: Title: Secret motorway junctions Post by: Simon Pieman on Thursday, January 11, 2007, 13:18:51 Quote from: "Dave Blackcurrant" There are apparently only 2 nuclear bunkers in the country capable of withstanding a nuclear winter and will be used to house some locals for breeding, and some royalty and government folk.
