Dragonball Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Unbelievable out there!! From Luton - south through the roadworks - took me 2.5 hrs to do 50 miles home BUT - that's nothing... Northbound - The queue from 10 miles north of Luton - followed it down no end in sight when I came off M25 at M4 turning!! M3 closed Stay at home!!

Branners Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I dont go near the M1 now during rush hour. A1 for me or cross country to Aylesbury and up the M40. The M25 clockwise past South Mimms was stuff today as well. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 On a good note, if you live in Bedford and normally queue for ages through Great Barford from the A1, let it be known that the bypass will soon be open (August) I've been working on this bad boy since September, testing the stone used for the Sub-Base as it's coming from Holland via boat. Gonna be a nice stretch of road when it's open. Duel with no junctions for 7k's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 problem is that when good weather arrives everyone does the same thing - get the car out - this country's just too small for the amount of people here let's face it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 who do you work for mate, i was working on that for a while Mid Sussex Testing (laboratory). I'm the only person there from them.

Branners Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I thought the roads were quiet today, I assumed everybody was at home watching the footie. Had the cruise on 75mph most of my trip from Newark to home. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 75mph on the motorway is that all? I am physically unable to go that slow, I just can't do it, I think I have a psycological problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 It's a shame we didn't have this conversation while you were there. We could have met up and talked Bo**ox about cars I'll be there for three or four weeks yet. Don't know what i'm doing after, yet. Maybe i'll retire.

terribleturner Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 Now Paul you see why i take the Bike. 40 minutes for me to do 46 miles I jumped on the M1 at J.14 and it was empty, couldn't belive my luck. But 2 junctions later my luck ran out as just after Toddington services the ques began all the way to the end of the roadworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1980 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I'm a bit out of the loop here james. What's the score - from what I can gather your car is up at turbofit getting rebuilt and you're travelling up on your bike regularly to check it out?
