M40

[coaxingstar71]

any blades travelling down to Oxford. Avoid m40 south after a43 if you can. Traffic at a standstill.

Broken down?

 

[coaxingstar71]

Think your breakdown truck has arrived.

 

[LSF]

Broken down?

No mate, M 40. The 5 mile stretch from A43 to A34, chokka, not moving.
When we got to junction it was flowing so we took a gamble. After a mile we stopped. Just sat staring at back of a lorry now.

Breakdown truck just passed us on hard shoulder.

 

[Muttley]

It usually is. Dreadful road.

 

[Deddington]

If still bad and you are further up M40 you can get off at Banbury (J11) and use A4260 Road to Oxford

Not signposted from motorway so set sat nav / head for adderbury or deddington or kidlington all on 4260 and then just keep going until you hit A34

 

[ItCouldBeWorse]

Looking at the AA travel website it describes an 'earlier accident' so hopefully should start to clear soon.

also bear in mind there appears to be an accident on the A34 into Oxford however it's on the northbound side so hopefully shouldn't affect anyone travelling down.

Safe journey Blades

Clearing now, removed offending lorry and 2 lanes open. Now on A 34 and going ok.

 

[knowsnowt]

Once spent 3 hours sat in traffic there. Bastard road.

I hope no one's posting whilst driving, that's an hefty fine and six points now. Safe journey to every Blade travelling down and sing your hearts out.

Any Blades not travelling anywhere and sitting by the radio - sing up will ya? I want to hear you from my back garden, where there are no traffic jams or recovery vehicles , but there is a stiff wind and a barbecue which needs rebuilding before the summer

I had to stop reading at 'stiff' for health reasons, sj.

Another one is...If you're at Junction 9..take the A430 through Middleton Stoney...all the way towards Western on the Green..then hang a left to get over A34 following Oxford/Newbury signs...it misses out the M40.

Does it count if you're stood still with the engine off?

 

[wizadry]

No, you're fine sir.

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Does it count if you're stood still with the engine off?

And do you count in attendance figures under these circumstances?
