DazBob Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Ketchup all over the east lancs apparently Wigs as well. Police are combing the area. Quote
Mixu Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 The new bus lane on the East Lancs becomes operational from today. Off work today because of the weather but I predict carnage. Those turning right towards Monton knock out lane 3, the bus lane takes up lane 1, so the Lancs will be down to a single lane at that junction. Quote

Mixu Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Don't know yet, I'm still working from home, so to speak. Quote
kaydan Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Traffic seems to have been slightly better this week actually. By slightly I mean 1hr 10 mins Bromley cross - Warrington rather than 1 hr 20 mins+ in a morning. Tonight was a breeze coming home at 4.30, about 50 mins. Quote
stevieb Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Drove to work this morning. 6.20 leaving h town expecting to get to the office just after 7. Got to Red bank car park at 7.20. I'll be staying on the train if that's the craic with th'east lancs now. Quote
Carlos Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 45 mins either way through Clifton. Fuck the Lancs. Quote
fatolive Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Was on the Lancs today, from the office at the Astley junction to Motorworld junction/ Swinton, 25 mins I was on it and not one bus was in the bus lane or anyone at any of the stops. Would expect an operational bus lane to have a few buses go past in that time heading city bound ,but, not a one. The guided bit in Tyldesley / Leigh isn't finished so not sure what's supposed to be going down it yet, but loads of queuing traffic and an empty bus lane today. Quote
Casino Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 60 was blocked both ways tonight, so took the trafford centre way on only an hour so a relative result had the traffic news on and apparently the anti clockwise side was blocked what makes it the anti clockwise side Quote

donkeyshorn Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Has no one tried Google maps navigation? It knows from other uses where is busy and works out the quickest route. I find it more accurate than other sat navs. It even took me off the M65 for one junction to avoid an accident! Quote
Casino Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 Not sure if serious? i know i should say im joking but no, im not you can go anti clockwise on both sides Quote

Gonk Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) i know i should say im joking but no, im not you can go anti clockwise on both sides No, think of a clock looking down from above with Manchester where the hands join. J17 is Most north at 12 o'clock. you can go towards Oldham and Ashton, clockwise to 3 O'clock and on to stockport at 6 and that is clockwise. going via the trafford centre to stockport is Anti clockwise Edited December 9, 2015 by Gonk Quote
Spider Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Google maps is the best out there. The live traffic info is nailed on. Quote

It's brilliant, the man lets me play my music and just speaks over it when he needs to. Quote

Casino Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 anyway, best part of 2 hours this morning and thats using the 'quiet bit' of the 60 Quote
Gonk Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 they said the anti clockwise SIDE If they say that between juctions 12 - 8 or 23-18 it makes sense, if they didn't, or you weren't listening, then it doesn't. Quote
Zico Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 anyway, best part of 2 hours this morning and thats using the 'quiet bit' of the 60 by quiet bit do you mean stockport? for me, that's the worst bit junction 2 is possible the worst planned junction i've ever seen, and i've seen some dunno what was going down last night, but took 90 mins to get hom instead of 40 as it was gridlocked all the way round that bottom right hand corner Quote
