Olympics traffic problems

8wheels:
Bad news then, you get there on Thursday and be late.

On the plus side you’ll be early for Friday. :laughing:

I have to be there on time as well, last time I was 10mins late and the guy nearly had a baby. Guess he will have a heart attack this week when I arrive or if I do

Yep it’s a pain you just gotta use the back streets but then even some of them are blocked it’s because they have changed the traffic lights thats causing all the problems they should of left them normal :smiling_imp:

On the a12,they have re phased the lights coming in at gants hill holding it all back took around am hour from whalebone lane to there.

If I was coming to whalebone lane from your yard I know this is a long route round but I think I would go up 406 to woodford then come back Down to Charlie brown round about Up chigwell road then all the way along manor road and right onto Romford road up to whalebone lane You won’t get much if any traffic going that way also if your running to tml tip you cut across collier row saves having to do u turn or try and get past the school

We went up that way last week not a bad route if there’s problems. Coming back this morning we came down the 12 I stuck with it an d one of the others went down ley st in to ilford to the 406 up to redbridge and I got in to the yard a couple of minutes later just got to stick with it really not to bad for me as I’m on wages but all our other tippers are owner drivers so times money.

Olympic lanes my ringpiece.

Olympic lanes are great, most people dont use them despite the signs so you can fly past the traffic lol.

Don’t Manor Road have a 7.5t weight restriction + watch the camera along there i got done doing minimum over 30mph

I drive a tipper weight limits don’t concern me as we are the scum of the earth. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I use manor road all the time I also drive a tipper I don’t know what a weight restriction is I thought us tipper drivers are highway code exempt :open_mouth: :smiley:

Thank god am in sunny Yorkshire. Sod the bloody Olympics !

We wont win hardly anything maybe we might get 2 medals if we’re lucky (see the faith I have in our country)

Well today wasn’t to bad. Seemed heavy on the outskirts as the traffic seemed to be held back on the a12 and13 but inner London seemed fairly quiet.

Same thing “sarf of the water” traffic held back due to tinkering with traffic light timings B’Wall OK this morning, Kidbrooke lights cattle trucked! :confused: :confused:

Not to bad for me as other than my first load of the day to whalebone lane most of my work is inner London

Not been to bad for me so far, was a bit worried as today is the open ceremony but I’m already at Billingsgate market it had only taken me 30mins from Brimsdown. Still got to go onto Fenchurch Street as of yet but the A13 I hear isn’t a lot worse then normal a little slow they said on the radio but as to be expected
