[Travel] A24/A25/M25 Headsup.

[jessiejames]

Word of warning A24 from Beare Green all the way to Leatherhead closed. No diversion in place as emergency works. A24 open from Old Horsham road to Horsham in that direction. Taken me 2 hours from Capel to Dorking. Parts of A25 are also closed heading to Ashted and Epsom. This is all to do with the fuel tanker that lost 17,000 ltrs. Hopefully this clears up as the M25 is closed over the weekend.

Good luck if your going that way.

BBC Travel said this morning that the A24 might not be reopened before Tuesday

The insurers of the tanker, up to the limit of the policy third party property damage limit. Over that the Tanker owners.

Can believe it. We had the same happen on the A26 a couple of months ago and it was shut for 5 days and the bit they ended up resurfacing was pathetic, 100 yards maybe.

The drivers insurance company - this happens on all incidents where you damage the infrastructure

Report says 400ltrs when it happened it was reported as 17,000 ltrs. There must be a device in the cab warning the driver that he is losing fuel. Our trailers and rigid trucks with tail lifts wont start unless they are stowed correctly.

I remember a couple of years ago the cherry picker that travelled down the A23 a d the bucket hit tbe bridge,that had a warning alarm to say the arm was up, but Apparently you can bypass that with a 1p coin.

Hopefully the tanker driver is looking for a new career if its his fault.
