Site Supporter Spider Posted October 19, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted October 19, 2017 It was an absolute fucking joke tonight. From the m56 to Bolton took 2 fucking hours. That's an average speed of 15mph entirely on motorways. Fuck off. Just fuck the fucking fuck off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 What the fuck happened? The other week when the thelwall was shut and I had to go via Birkenhead I could understand it taking 6 hours Tonight it just seemed like a load of little bits and bobs adding up to chaos, bizzare I must have missed some serious accident somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I'd have expected your car's sat nav to have rerouted you! I was coming north up the M6 heading to Preston. Sat NAV re routed me towards the M60 as the M6 was fucked near Wigan then told me to turn around as the M60 got worse. Rejoined the M6 North then got told to get off south of Wigan and go through Wigan town centre Nightmare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalcolmW Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 M6 is queueing 25 miles northwards, back from M55 to Ashton-in-Makerfield. M6 is queueing 19 miles southwards, due to an offal spillage near Haydock. Just another Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Just heard the traffic report on heart fm. It would've bee quicker to read out which road are actually open and running well. M6 was shut, now one lane open. M60 fucked, M61 fucked, A666 fucked, M55 packed with loomy folk. Happy Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Friday Set off for warrington at 8am, heard the traffic report for the N6 southbound and decided to turn around and as I was feeling tired fucked off back to bed. Great decision. ????

Site Supporter Spider Posted October 28, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted October 28, 2017 Yesterday was as bad as I think I’ve ever seen it. There’s actually nonpint blaming the highways people, truth is if every cunt that owns a car decides to hit the roads at the same time it wouldn’t make a difference if every motorway had 28751 lanes, because eventually some cunt in wagon will fuck it all up.

birch-chorley Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Exactly The problem isn’t capacity, over 24 hours our transport system is under utilised really. It’s just everyone wants to use it at during the same small window of time, that’s the issue causing bottle necks If everyone who could potentially work from home a day or two a week did do then it would help out massively. It needs government policy to incentivise more employers to do this If you could then incentivise the HGV’s to move as much as possible at night rather than peak times that would help as well No point building 10 lane motorways and having train carriages 15 long if they are redundant for 18 hours a day, the cost is just too high Of course your still going to have unforeseen accidents causing issues but the impact wouldn’t be so bad if the flow of traffic was smoothed out over the day / night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, but if capacity is taken out (the Crescent, East Lancs), there is nowhere else to go. TfGM have created congestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MancWanderer Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 If you could then incentivise the HGV’s to move as much as possible at night rather than peak times that would help as well In an ideal world that is the perfect solution, however, the Mrs works works for a large logistics company and the problem has become the consumer You buy something online and choose next day delivery or delivery on a certain day and in this modern age you "expect" that to happen This means that logistics companies are shipping products from suppliers to transport hubs, on to regional delivery hubs, and then out to your house via white van man and because of your expectations they clog up the road during the day when ideally they would do it at night if you accepted that your purchase will arrive in a few days time I'm using "you" very generically here birch - I'm not blaming you personally for clogging up the roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Took me two and a half hours to get to Brum from Marple today No major reason other than that stretch of the M6 from Knutsford to past Stoke being shite as it is every time I drive down it Hate that stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
