The A50's last junction is with the M1 at J24. jimfbleak 19:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
When travelling north up the M1 both 24 and 24a are signposted for the A50 as I discovered a couple of weeks ago Saga City 20:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
This Highways Agency document states throughout that the A50 terminates at Junction 24A of the M1. See para 1.1.1 and throughout the document. Noisy | Talk 22:59, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Trust me to trust the Highways Agency. Sorry. From the HA website and the discussion above it seems that the intro para is wrong, and should be changed to:
or suchlike. The HA link on the article is not working. I suggest that the HA RMS document that I've linked be used to replace it. Noisy | Talk 07:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the following text: "It now serves the enormous Tesco shop at Longton. This has the largest floor area of any shop in the United Kingdom."
Not only is this information, in my view, irrelevant to an article about a road (do we list every significant retail space served by roads?), it is also unreferenced and ambiguous. The comment could have intended to say that the store had the largest footprint of any retail store in the UK, but having visited this store and numerous others around the country, I find this suspicious. If it was referring to total floor space, then the claim is even weaker as there are numerous stores built over several levels, which when combined would be much larger. If anyone seriously objects, feel free to revert the article, and explain why I got it wrong! ColourSarge ( talk) 17:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
At the end of the article it says, "The old A50 used to be the main route to London from Leicester, before it was replaced in the 19th century by what is now the A6." This seems very unlikley to me. I think the A6 is a much more ancient route. I have got Arthur Cossons book on Leicestershire Turnpikes. Would it be appropriate for this page to have a bit of a summary on the building of the Turnpike that largely became the A50? (I have not looked at many of the road pages, so would welcome guidance).

I have removed the following content from the article, as being far too detailed. I am leaving it here for reference:
