    only in this country can they keep motorways closed for so long for while clearing away accidents etc. It’s shameful and embarrassing.

    Delays on the M6 J38/40, you say between 15 minutes and 3 hours. Guess what I’ve been stuck in it for 7 hours. Try telling the public the truth for a change!!!!!

    You are WELL OUT with your suggestion of “10 minutes delay” on the M6, around Blackpool – take us 35 minutes to move about 6 miles!!?? 😕😕

    Congestion between junction 14 and 15 northbound. Been here for over an hour now yet not listed on your site??? No idea why this is happening or any estimate of how long we are expected to just sit here???

    M6 southbound at junction 12 at a standstill being held by police while roadworks are being set up. This is too early for any start times for the usual roadworks down here and is unacceptable. Isn’t it about time these delays were actually notified on this site before we all get stuck in them!!!

    The middle lane on the m6 has not moved in the past hour due to animals on road the cars haven’t moved at all since the congestion started
