M40 Madness

[anarchy-inc]

Anyone else stuck on the M40 yesterday evening? I didn't have the traffic radio on last night so got on the M40 from the M25 blissfully unaware that there was an incident around J4/5 which resulted in only one lane open. It took me 6 (yes 6) hours to get from Vauxhall to Bicester!!!!!!

Would have been, had I not picked up the Traffic Info as I left the office ! Managed to add 40 miles to my journey in order to avoid the hold up, but only added 30 mins .... so not too bad in all ! Feel sorry for anybody that was stuck in it !

But come on, how often is the M40 screwed? - not often is the answer.

Just like the M25 eh? The M25 is never screwed.....




















Just the drivers that have to use it are

You're right, it is usually quite good except between J9/10 though I never go there as I always get on/off at either 9 or 10.

Thing is though, I have never seen the M40 blocked this bad and had I turned on the radio, I could have avoided it. I was having one of those bad days in the office and in the car I just wanted peace and quiet.
