Yup. I'm now back to leaving the car at a P&R on the outskirts of Northampton and using the Brompton for the last mile and a half. Roads pretty much back to normal at usual congestion points like St James' Mill Road. Had to assertively hold my lane on Black Lion Hill due to volume of traffic.
On the other hand the accurate indicator of economic activity here over 30+ years has been the level of occupancy of Northampton station's car park. Not remotely full even at surface level, the steel decking section put up in the early noughties has been closed for months.
