In the early days of the M1, it was routed to end at Doncaster. A spur, bypassing Sheffield, was left over and provisionally given the number M11, or M57 (depending on numbering scheme). In the end, it was decided to extend this spur towards Leeds and make it M1, with the rump bit between Thurcroft and Doncaster numbered as M18.
