    Ridgmont village at junction 13 m1 being used as I diversion for the m1 southbound and North bound can you give me legitimate reasons this has been going on for the last 2 years this village is not designed to accumulate this sort of traffic there is a infants school at the top of station rd making it very unsafe and this is a health and safety issue and I will also be contacting them.

    What are the predictions for transport between Nottingham and Leeds tomorrow [Nov 13 2021] ? I am travelling by National Express, the coach is supposed to leave Notts at 3 15 and arrive in Leeds at 5 45, and the concert I’m attending starts [as in band onstage] at 7pm. I need to make sure I’m not going to be delayed.

    Why is the page still displaying only 90 mins delays on M1 Jnc 14-15 ? We have been stuck for 2.5 hours and need to know how long we will be stuck so we make decisions on hotel booking. Thanks

    Sorry but not a live travel report but was involved in an incident on the M1 at 1900 hrs on the 3rd October when Southern Motorway was closed before Junction 28 to remove debris causing damage to several cars. I would really appreciate if I could get a report from your good selves on this as it appeared on your website.
    My insurance company requires this info. Many thanks in anticipation.
