MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I'm booked on the 12:00 to Dunkirk tomorrow and will be leaving portsmouth at 8, it's a 3 hour drive with traffic so not much time to spare, anyone know how bad the delays are? google is just giving results on ferry delays but nothing on traffic getting into Dover port.
I can't leave any earlier because my ferry gets to portsmouth at 8 and the earlier ones are all booked now!
Assuming you clear the Portsmouth Ferry Port by 09.00 you should miss the worst of the M275/M27 rush hour traffic. I don't know which route you have planned but the A27 or A259 are notorious for traffic hell
M25 is what google suggests, going coastal is a bad idea in my experience
I'm told the M3 northbound can be awful as well.
Basically I'm gonna have to navigate through a load of traffic whichever way... nice
Just took the Dover Calais ferry 3 hours ago and there were no traffic delays and no backed up lorries if that helps. It doesn't help you for tomorrow morning but the backlog that we saw on Friday has gone
Cheers leffeboy, you've put my mind to rest!
Nothing at the moment, live right near the M20 / A20 and all normal tonight.
If you plot a route on google maps, you can choose what time you want to start the trip and it'll predict a best route/time based on historical data.
