Lancaster in rush hour.

[nagsheadwarrior]

A potential new job would mean a daily commute from Preston to Lancaster city centre.

I suspect Lancaster is a nightmare in rush hour,anybody got any experience approaching it from the south?

Its not so bad before 0815 ish, it can get busy on the A6/Greaves road on the way in but you can cut through Barton/Bowerham.

Getting out again is not so bad, it all depends where you are parking because if you have to traverse the one way it can take a while, I'd be parking with this in mind and maybe walking a bit further, its not a big place by any means.

It will be a lot easier than trying to get out down Garstang Road/New Hall road in Preston at rush hour.

I do both cities regularly and Lancaster is a doddle once you learn the rat runs

[CrutyRammers]

Yeah, compared to Preston it's a doddle.

Thats good,not as bad as I thought.

Jobs at the B and Q so not too far into the centre I think and parking on site.

You should be fine for B&Q, if you go A6 or M6 and off at Galgate you only have to suffer a few hundred yards and turn left after the hospital so you'd miss the worst of it.
