As Simon has mentioned, it is correctly mapped. I don't travel that far South down the M1 on a regular basis anymore (I used to use that section daily), and certainly do remember that old slip road (having used it many times when J1 was busy). It's interesting it's still there and maintained, although I'm not personally sure if they would ever bring it back into use now.
