Zone 6 (3 digits)[edit]

Road From To Notes
B600 Alfreton Nuthall, Nottingham Previously the A613
B601 Lobley Hill Interchange, A1 A184 in Gateshead Possible number for the former A692 west of Gateshead. The eastern end is now part of the A184, but it is not known if the B601 was decommissioned as well. Some maps and all signs state the route as part of the B1426, however other maps, as well as Gateshead MBC, still state the route as B601.

It was upgraded to Class I status early on and had become part of the A605 by the 1950s (probably had this number by the end of the 1920s). But following the construction of the current A45, the road was torn up and is now completely gone, nothing more than a faint line in a field.

The second use was from the A43 north of Stanion to the A427 in Corby. Upgraded to Class I status as the A6116 in 1935; the section east of Corby is now part of the A6086 and the remainder unclassified.

B667 A6030 near Evington A47 near Thurncourt First used between Islip and Stanion; this was upgraded to the A6116 by the end of the 1920s.

Next used between Humberstone and Thurmaston. The central section is part of the A563 Leicester northern bypass and the remainder unclassified.

B688 (defunct) A46 east of East Bridgford A614 in Warren Hill The southern section between the A46 and A612 was upgraded to Class I status early on, becoming the A6097, although much of this section returned to the B688 after the East Bridgford bypass and a new Gunthorpe Bridge (opened 1927) were built (the new road got the A6097 number). With the old bridge gone, this left the B688 with a gap over the River Trent, requiring a detour via local roads and the A6097. Later maps showed that the A6097 had replaced the B688 piece by piece. A section in Oxton was numbered as part of the B6386, but this is now unclassified.
B689 (defunct) A1 (now B6326) in Newark-on-Trent A46 in Newark-on-Trent Was the highest-numbered and northernmost 3-digit road B road in England.
