Getting past Brum on a monday morning

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I was working on HS2 before Xmas last year and the traffic starts to build up where you mention from 6 15am. Leave Manchester at 4.00am and you will be good. After 4.30am it will be busy and After 5.00am sat in traffic.

I’d say these timings were about right.

Were you working near Hampton in Arden?

Set off early if it's an option.

I'm heading to London (albeit from Lincoln) and we always set off at 6am to guarantee being there for midday.

Thanks for all the answers chaps.

We are off on hols down south and fucked up not leaving sunday but its what it is now.

Downloaded WAZE and gonna set off at 6am. If (ok… not if.. when…) the red lines of traffic pop up we will just divert for a bit. No rush n all that

Our mistake, dont know what we were thinking setting off monday morning

I am off to Southampton on monday.

Will leave about 10am, go M6 then the toll road. After that you have the bloody awful smart motorway I breath a sigh of relief when i get to the M40.
