O/T M6 Motorway

Took me 2 hours this pm to travel from Carnforth to Preston. The M6 was like a slow moving traffic jam.

Just the sheer volume of traffic made for a stop start journey irrespective of lane.

Just hope tomorrow for the guys who are travelling to Ipswich that the journey is hassle free but suspect it could be another slow moving jam.

Best of luck to everybody and stay safe.

Agreed! Hope everyone travelling down has got off early to beat the traffic….maybe! Drove down yesterday to visit family near Cambridge and the traffic was as bad as I’ve ever seen. Only good thing was that the M6 after Birmingham wasn’t too bad.I think the vast majority of vehicles left on the M42 (car park) heading to the M5 and Cornwall etc’.Now that must be a nightmare. The A14 is a good dual carriageway/motorway and although busy was moving really well until some plant pot lost control of his car and blocked the near side lane. Hope all travelling down have a safe journey!
