Forms the primary route between Leeds and Harrogate but is superseded to the south by the M1 motorway to Wakefield. Originally went on what is now the A6135 north of Sheffield. Leeds Manchester Former main Trans Pennine route from Lancashire to Yorkshire, most of the traffic now uses the M62 motorway, which follows roughly the same route between Manchester and Leeds, but extends to Hull and Liverpool Leeds Kingston upon Hull Leeds Scarborough Main road from West Yorkshire to the East Coast.

Hitchin Ware Bedford Cambridge Section from Sandy to New Wimpole (on the A1198) downgraded to B1042. Unused Used to run from Barton Seagrave to Harwich. Downgraded to sections of the A14, A1307, A143, A1017, A1124, A137, B1352, A120 and A136 by 1998. The original route went from the A6 at Barton Seagrave to the A14 at Huntingdon.

A14 J13 Hobbs Lot Bridge, near Guyhirn Stamford West Bridgford Leicester Bracebridge Heath Newstead Derby Nottingham Belper Nottingham Ambergate Nottingham Mansfield Nottingham Newark-on-Trent Runs via Southwell Unused Originally ran from Nuthall to Alfreton. The extension of the M1 to J28 and the completion of the A615 Alfreton bypass (now the A38) resulted in a faster route between Nottingham and Alfreton, and this was the final nail in the coffin for the A613. It was downgraded to the B600, probably in the late 1960s or early 1970s (does not show on maps after that).
Later used for the Gateshead Western Bypass from Birtley to Blaydon. Became part of the A69 early on and then the A1 in the 1990s.
Number also appears in the DfT Road lists from around 2002 as "Reserved for use for the Kirkumgate - Disforth proposals". Both place names do not exist with these spellings ("Kirkumgate" is probably an archaic spelling for Kirkhamgate and "Disforth" is a typo). The route is likely a descendant of the Kirkhamgate - Dishforth Motorway, a proposal to extend the M1 north between Leeds and Bradford, which later became the A6183, before being rerouted east of Leeds and becoming the M1 extension north of J43.

But as early as February 1922, it was decided that the A1 should run via Scotch Corner, as its route was more important. Eventually the MOT caved in to local authority knowledge, and the A687 was one of the first A roads to be decommissioned, becoming the A1. Much of route has since been downgraded due to completion of nearby A1(M) and A66(M), and the portion running through Barton was declassified. The section in County Durham is now part of the A66.
