Coming back from Newcastle today the matrix signs were suggesting that 3 or 4 services were out of Diesel. From the top of my head Durham, Donny North, Blyth and Trowell. I also passed a few forecourts that had run out on the way home and a couple the other day when I was trying to top up for the weeks work.
What’s the craic is there a shortage again?

What is this thing called Christmas, tell me more?
If its panic buying why is it Diesel that’s out and not petrol too?
Streamlining.
More efficient way to do things.
The diesel fairies are taking fuel from the bunkers, and cutting out the trucker middlemen.
The Police have said it`s not up to them to look for evidence.
The Gov say they will launch an inquiry as soon as they find a competent Home Office Minister.
Woodhall southbound and Markham Vale were also out of diesel,I went into Tibshelf southbound for a break and they were queuing from the lorry park into garage for some.

Possibly, but can you see charging points from motorway? I think it was somewhere on m6 but just can’t remember , not something I’d ever seen before , though the amount of Tesla’s on the road I guess it’s no suprise

Markham vale is a waste of time at the min as the 3rd pump has been removed after someone hit it and too many parking on left hand pump to go to McDonald’s.

Is there only 1 charge point there? If so, saying it takes 20mins for a boost charge, the guy at the back will wait 5hrs to charge. He’d and others in the queue would also need to pay parking. That’s getting expensive now for a cheaper way of motoring!
On the diesel shortage, i tried to fill my car in Rugby the other day, but all the diesel pumps were out of service. If there is a shortage, thank God the government & media have taken a more covert approach this time!
