Stuck between 12 and 13. Travelled 3 miles in 5 hours.
Why the police haven’t parked us up on the hard shoulder I don’t know.
That what happens when operation stack kicks in isn’t it?
I contacted Abington services to see what time they finish serving food, and I was told they are shut.
Still it could be worse. There are many people on here in cars who have no food or drink.
I’m going around with my flask!
Fast approaching 17 hours duty time!!
There is very little coming Northbound. Google maps are showing solid red lines on both approaches towards Abington.
You posted that at 22.38 stating that you’d been stuck there since 16.30
FFS 6 hours
Whatever the flick has happened in front, surely the authorities know that it’s going to take ages to clear, so WHY FFS don’t they turn traffic around and let them get on with their journeys from another point, using another route??!!! Might be a bit congested, but at least they are going somewhere, and should they need to stop, food, wee, etc. at least they can stop somewhere. We as commercial drivers will hopefully/probably have stuff to feed on, but what about the car drivers, especially those with kids in the car. I will never understand why they HATO/Police, seem to enjoy enforcing misery on those that use the roads!!

It’s horrendous Pierrot!
As I said, I’m warm. If some of these cars are a little low on fuel then they’re in trouble.

It wasnt even 2238 when you posted that
Think about it
Can’t explain the time I posted.
But it’s exactly 22.43 as I sit here in this horrendous queue.

I’m currently just about to set off on a trunk to Lesmahagow (M74 Jct 10)
From Liverpool. Will I make it there and back tonight Butcher?

M74 Northbound closed at Beatock.
You really won’t make it Lancsdriver.
All the wagons should have been stacked on hard shoulder for 9 hours off!
This is a ■■■■ take now!!
I drive for a sensible company,
we were told to stop at Johnstonebridge until the situation had been assessed …
sat there an hour…
and then turned round and back to base…
