    So glad I saw the M42 delays on here just before setting out. Passed huge queue southbound on the way there, but came home a different way, so managed to avoid a load of stress.

    Help stuck on the M42 northbound- standstill for miles. Looked up here and it says all lanes closed? What happens now?
