I left Manchester at 7am and was fortunate that my Dad called me early (8ish) and told me to go around the clockwise around the 25 via Dartford. An additional 50 miles or so, but only an additional 90 mins (it was very slow around the Godstone junction) - Cheers Dad!
Thanks. They don't make it clear that my ticket has been sold?! - Should they give me the option before they do?? Was going to get the ticket for my Dad to go (sat next to friends) since I can't get down from Manchester on Tuesday night. Shan't bother. Disapointing.
