The A27/M27 Route
The A27 runs west from Brighton along the coast before joining the M27 for the final stretch into Southampton.
It's a mix of dual carriageway and single-lane sections through the South Downs, so while scenic, the middle portion can be slower than a pure motorway route — we build that into the schedule.
