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.
Currently at a stand still M42 between 6 and 5 . No update here
So this is really helpful for m42 10/10 nice keep it up 👍🏻
Help stuck on the M42 northbound- standstill for miles. Looked up here and it says all lanes closed? What happens now?
