Captain_Kronos Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 i went on Saturday but i'm glad i decided to go on train at the last minute then if the motorway was that bad...although the train was late leaving because of a power problem,half the train had the passengers sitting in pitch black all the way home made me laugh anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the M6 to M40... traffic in general, accidents, SNOW!!!, darkness, rain... god it was tough, took 2 hours more than usual!! Anyone else get traffic? I did as well, I got to the knutsford services and decided to park there rather than the motorway. We waited for about 45 minutes until the traffic started moving again...albeit slowly. it took a good two extra hours to get back to Brum...and it was snowing madly when I got there...lol.

Zaigor Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 I was going back to Brum as well but went by coach. Left Manchester coach station at 7.15 and was asleep before we had left Manchester. Woke up just as we were going through Birmingham town centre and thought the driver had took a wrong turn and gone to Lapland. Wasn't delayed getting back to Birmingham but getting home from the coach station. Took about 45 minutes for a taxi to turn up and then it drove at 20 mph and charged me 1 1/2 times the usual fare.

surfy_sah Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 problems getting home from GMEX? where should I start!!! having left the event after crewing a 1830 to get the 1930 train to get me home to Swansea (South Wales) at 0130, I finally got home this afternoon about 1400. I kid you not. I am NEVER heading home on a Sunday evening post Manchester again. the 6hour journey (which took 4hours going up and was direct!!) took 18hours and cost me an additional £30 and lost me my day off tomoz (my first non-con/event day off in a month) as I didn't make it into work today for my 0930-1800 shift. not impressed. surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the M6 to M40... traffic in general, accidents, SNOW!!!, darkness, rain... god it was tough, took 2 hours more than usual!! Anyone else get traffic? yup. was an absolute motherf*cker took just over 5 hours to get back to MK. M6 on a Sunday night - never worth the effort!! Traffic is always horredous so for those of you who struggle venturing south on a Sunday night this is the best way home. M60 S & W to Junction 3 (A34) A34 south to A500 stoke A500 into Stoke then A50 towards Uttoxeter (waving at Alton Towers on the way past) This takes you across to the M1 Junction 23a (which is usually heavy going on a Sunday too) If this is bad come off at Junction 19 which is Daventry Rail Freight Terminal (DIRFT) and turn right You can pick up the A5 here all the way into Milton Keynes For you speed freaks the A34 is full of Speed Cameras but the A50 is camera free at present.

tiggerific Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 i drove home from liverpool on sunday, leaving at about 330 and had rain all the way to northampton. the M6 was awful, there was first an accident on the southbound carriageway that had moved to the hard shoulder then a bit further down the southbound way started crawling as everyone was having a good look at the otherside where something bad must have happened as there were 3 fire engiones, an ambulane and a police car still thre (my passenger informs me anyway!) then when we got to the M1 heading towards northampton that evil white stuff called snow materialised and had that all the way home. By the time i was home it was coming down quite heavily and did start to lay. Thankfully it had gone by this morning!!!!! problems getting home from GMEX? where should I start!!! having left the event after crewing a 1830 to get the 1930 train to get me home to Swansea (South Wales) at 0130, I finally got home this afternoon about 1400.
