Bristol Rovers is probably the closest to the A38 as it is almost adjacent to the A38

Villa Park is very close to the A38(M) near spaghetti junction.


The A1 is A1M in places so A38 longest A road

The A38 also becomes A38(M) from spag bol junction into Brum.

Loving all these road facts. Has anyone actually driven to Devon/Cornwall solely on the A38? I've been tempted a few times but always go on the M5.

Someone last did it in 1967 driving a Morris Oxford.

The road has been changed since 1967, when the road (A38) finished in Derby. It started in centre of Derby, then through centre of Burton, Litchfield and Sutton Coldfield before getting to Birmingham and then further south to Cornwall eventually.

But it is not called the old A38 is not called the A38 now.

I was sad and drove back from Torquay once using the A38 as much as possible. We had drawn 1-1 with Torquay on Saturday 2nd September 1995. I’d been in Devon and Cornwall for a week beforehand so I had driven the A38 up from Bodmin to Torquay and then had the crazy idea to drive back on the Sunday avoiding the Motorways so logically it had to be the A38. As pointed out it doesn’t exist in certain places and was very difficult to follow through certain towns/ cities like Bristol, Gloucester and Birmingham. Elsewhere it was a beautiful drive and far more relaxing than the motorway although from memory it took about 8 or 9 hours of driving (I had a couple of breaks) to get to Mansfield before heading up to Bradford.

No idea who scored for Stags but Stuart Hadley was top scorer with 8 and Ian Bowling was player of the season

Lots of tickets left for tomorrow, looks like a lot of fans have already made there mind up when it comes to promotion and entertainment.
