As Simon has mentioned, it is correctly mapped. I don't travel that far South down the M1 on a regular basis anymore (I used to use that section daily), and certainly do remember that old slip road (having used it many times when J1 was busy). It's interesting it's still there and maintained, although I'm not personally sure if they would ever bring it back into use now.<br>

wrong?!</span></font></p>

</span><span class="q"><p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In fact, even more of the new M1 J8 will appear with the weekly update
this week, as I was able to map out the changes to the M1 J8 Southbound
junction last week, and have recorded the start of the new parallel road on
that side too (these parallel roads will run alongside the M1 on both sides all
the way to J7.<br>
