MAJOR TRAFFIC WARNING!!! Greenford A40 area and beyond.
« on: 08 December 2017, 08:50:56 am »
If anyone is still at home and planning on going anywhere near Sudbury, Greenford or A40 around Greenford area......stay at home.
The whole area  is like a car park, with the A40 shut between Hangar Lane and Greenford due to an accident that happened around 4.30am.
Just took me 55mins to travel 5.5 miles, mainly on the wrong side of the road.
In short, it's the worst traffic I've encountered in a very long time.  :eek

Appears to have calmed down now, average time for car drivers getting to my work in Greenford was 2.5 to 3hrs  :eek

It always takes Darrsi that long to get there, he still does realise the FZS 600 has more than 4 gears and of course he rides like a tart.  :eek :lol :lol :rollin :rollin

When i came in there was NOTHING moving for a the last couple of miles, i literally had to resort to riding like a pizza delivery rider to get anywhere.
Workmate who lives half a mile from me took 2.5hrs to get to work, but many people were longer than that.


Unfortunately it sounds like it was a biker fatality at around 4.15am on the A40.  :(
