When i last spoke to my friend @ 2200 last night, he was still stuck there(Junction 8). His battery was going on his mobile though must be a nightmare

Hmmm. Slightly worrying. I'm coming down from Heathrow at 11:00. I'm heading anti-clockwise but hope the area doesn't snarl up with diversions. Will check the Highways Agency before leaving here.

Same, I'm coming down from Chertsey way about lunchtime and am a little concerned :/

 

[jimhigham]

Nuts! Just read the Highways Agency and it says the accident is anti-clockwise. Now I'm buggered. OK. Time to work on Plan B.

 

[fire&skill]

Five Live just said it's expected to remain closed till around midday. :-(.

You gotta get on a train chaps. How would you feel if you miss this? No-one needs to answer that.............

 

[rauper]

It's anti clockwise. I'm nearly at j8, sitting still...

Good luck chap. How long you been sitting there?

 

[gullshark]

What's it like going through J9 and using the A24?

Wonder if this M25 issue will cause a delayed kick off

Guys, do not risk it on the M25! A lorry went through the central reservation yesterday and there are still "some" tail backs on there! Use another route...

I'd be thinking about heading into Surbiton. Easy, cheapish car parking one road back from the main street behind the shops. Very fast trains into Waterloo. Then first train to Clapham Junction (one every couple of minutes) & the express to Brighton.

Probably other rail options but that's the one I know that would work.

Likewise, from Heathrow I would think abt driving into London. Chiswick has a good service to Clapham Junction.... But may be cutting it fine if you're not leaving the airport til 11. Better than not making it all though.

Very unlikely. Rovers must be staying locally and fans have had plenty of time to seek alternatives - IF they've been checking the travel news

Last night I came off at junction 12 as it was backed up to junction 10 so the A24 wasn't an option. Took the M3 to junction 4, then the A331 and A31 to Guildford, and then the A281 to Horsham. Pretty smooth, but it was 9pm.

Just bouncing this to the top. People need to know this stuff.

Use the A roads FFS.

When I left Heathrow last night around 7ish....I used the A308 upto Hampton Court , A309 , A243 onto A24.....then got back onto the A23 as Pease Pottage

If that helps...

 

[jimhigham]

Use the A roads FFS.

Duh! Well of course we will but it's hardly going to be easy if everybody else is up to the same trick is it?
