A21 Delays ... Eddie ran out of road

Not a bridge this time, but still causing problems on one of the busiest days of the year…

That will be fun going through Battle then, I expect the Mountfield and Whatlington level crossings will come into play.

That’s how I knew about the problem, I have just come through Battle! With Christmas shopping events it’s causing havoc.

It will keep a couple of Mick Gould’s wreckers busy for a while!

They should just leave it there until a quiet day like Christmas Day then recover it. Not like it’s obstructing anything after all.

Should we have a “Stobart oops of the year” thread?

No doubt driving on the limiter then ■■■■ himself when another truck came along also on the limiter.

I may be wrong as I don’t know the exact point as to where he crashed but I know certain points of the A21 can be pretty tight particularly at speed.
Also I swear there is a firm that has some like US style recovery trucks on the road they look like the type that could pull the titanic off the ocean bed. :laughing:
Don’t quote me on that though I rarely use that road.

That’s the one. I often slow down driving past them to get a good looksie.

Update:

The A21 is closed for at least 2 hours whilst the truck is recovered…

it can be a bad road to follow
with some narrow points one wheel on the edge and away you go

At night yes, but this was during the middle of the day.
