Closed at J19 most morning, finally reopened, closed again for another fuel spillage… 
wtf are people doing out there?
I’m going to put the kettle on again.
It was more than a bit slow, it was a disaster!
just prior to 6am, a HGV travelling N/B started to go up the exit slip at J19 before crashing through the offside barrier of the slip-road, down the banking dragging the barrier with him, through the H/S barrier of the main c/way, jack-knifing and into the rwks vary-guard barrier in the central res, finished up jack-knifed across all lanes, with the barrier stuck underneath him, loads of soil & ■■■■■ from the embankment.
An up and over closure was put on for that, ie. Up the exit, back down the entry slip. The problem being that J19 is a very busy junction, with it being the rat-run to the M56 at j7, the the T/lights will only let about 6 veh’s through at a time.
You can imagine how traffic started to build up very quickly on the approach to J19, there was then a lot of difficulty getting services to the scene due to HGV’s and cars stopping on the H/S for what-ever reason.
Meanwhile, a HGV driver called up saying there was an oil spill between J18 - J19 (in the traffic queue) and he was loosing traction on it. We eventually found a spillage of over 5 miles in lane 1, where a mobile crane had lost all his hydraulic oil whilst travelling in the queue. This needed treating ASAP, the only way to treat it was to close the motorway between J18 - J19. ( It’s totally unfeasible to put out temp traffic management for a closure of that length)
We had to get 2 gritters and a sweeper to attend to sort out 5 miles of an oil slick, then the road was opened as soon as possible.
Please guys, lets have a quiet day tomorrow!
Soon be chaos Friday
It caused chaos on the surrounding routes.
The real Biffo:

Flipflop.

More like how the f*** do you go up a nice easy slip road like jnc 19NB and f*** it up so badly
The usual 3am sleepy Joe probably.
What time it open I avoided it via m54 and a41 and into Winsford early afternoon just wondered if I needed to avoid at that time. No hardship for me either way.
