NPOV
[edit]I'm fairly new to Wikipedia but this article doesn't feel entirely neutral to me: notably the mention of "dumping" traffic into Longdendale, use of emotive terms like "tragically" and the last para: "Although the beauty of the Dark Peak area was saved by not completing the motorway, many innocent lives have been lost, in addition to damages to health, time and the environment." I detect a vague pro-motorist bias. Any more experienced Wikipedians care to comment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dave.Dunford (talk • contribs) 14:16, 19 April 2005 (UTC)
Dave I'm not a long-term prisoner either but I tend to agree with your doubts. The tone certainly is NOT neutral.
(The case of the missing M67 has some history I recollect - it was first advocated at a time when the rail line was still very much up and running - a Minister at the time said (IIRC) that anyone who really knew the area would realise that Londendale was well worth sacrificing - this not long after the CEGB had carefully undergrounded the Supergrid line. There was. I recollect, an outcry. The later scheme to use the n#bore of Woodhead 3 for one carriageway seemed deservedly not to get very far (given the very different needs of an electrified line and a string of motorcars & lorries.))Linuxlad 17:22, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
NPOV
[edit]I have to agree with the lack of neutrality. It's more reflective of opinion rather than fact.

[edit]i fixed a couple glaring POV's. anyone interested in doing some more work might find http://www.cbrd.co.uk/motorway/67.shtml to be a more useful source of information than the only other source used: pathetic motorways. Stainless steel 02:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
Routing of the extension to the M1
[edit]This article reads like a definitive route was decided, but then sources the Pathetic Motorways site, which states:
This is a mixture of facts and educated guesses, and attempts to show what might have been. If anyone has any more information, please contact me!
Specifically with regards to the Woodhead tunnels, the article clearly states that one carriageway was to use the tunnels, while the source states that this was extremely unlikely to be viable.Dosxuk (talk) 14:58, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Speed cameras?
[edit]I don't see any speed cameras on the M67. Did they come and go?
What IS interesting about the M67 is that it's mostly unlit, despite the fact that it's essentially an urban motorway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.4.82.60 (talk) 15:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
motorway map
[edit]That map is useless, it took me minutes of concentrated comparing File:UK motorway map - M67.png and File:UK motorway map - M25.png to find this tiny appendix. Even worse, the M25 is still kind of "highlighted" as there's a difference in colours! axpdeHello! 09:38, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
