Commuting time from Frodsham to Flint and Cheadle Hulme?

[Sueqozzie]

Hi,

My job has relocated to Cheadle Hulme and potentially my DH could work in Flint. Looking at the AA route planner, Frodsham seems to be about half way between and roughly half an hour drive to each workplace . However, never having driven this route (I live down South) is this accurate or would we each spend many more hours per week in the car? My work has a restriction of no more than 25 miles or 1 hour from the workplace.
Thanks in advance.

think it's quicker to avoid M56 and go A34 to gatley then straight onto M60 tbh (Wilmslow commuter to North Manchester here). Would go 'old' A34 rather than bypass though

Oooh difference of opinion . I do Junction 5 of M56 to Leeds (M60/M62) and under strict test conditions (well kind of - did one week via Stockport / one week via Trafford Centre) the Trafford Centre route (i.e. M60 clockwise from South Manchester to Bury) is much faster.

Hiding - forgotten about old A34, I'd agree that would be quicker than M56.

Mandy - did you cut the corner off at Chadderton when you went eastbound? J21, A663, A627M to M62? Otherwise you go back on yourself and it is longer.

I was just talking about the straight comparison of getting on the M56, onto the M60 and then either going clockwise or anti-clockwise to the M66 junction for Bury (as I go past that junction en route to Leeds). I dont know about getting into Bury or cutting corners .

I've always found the clockwise route (via the Trafford Centre) much quicker than the anti-clockwise route.
