 Poster: A snowHead

It's worth checking http://www.theaa.com/travelwatch
if you're driving to Dover this weekend.
There's a strike with Sea France (I think), and lorries are being queued on the motorway.

Operation Stack has been in place for most of the last 2 weeks from what I've heard on the radio. I'll look out for the queues as I'm flying over this weekend

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yes, it was very slow going down to eurotunnel on Wednesday, but still a very easy way to get across the Channel and despite missing our train, because of Operation Stack, we got straight onto the next one. There was news tonight that there are also serious delays on eurotunnel because of "lighting problems". Eurotunnel tomorrow is going to be a bit of a pain.

As long as they get it it all sorted for my eurotunnel crossing on the 20th for my Easter jaunt

Have been watching this with intrest.
Leaving Birmingham on Friday evening to get the 23:00 sailing with P&O.... Really not looking forward to more delays on top of what I'm expecting already!

I live in Ashford & I Work in Maidstone.. so see the ques each day.
Only once has the ques been so bad that I have pulled of the A20 (the diversion off motorway) and took the lanes / back roads home.
Traffic (except last Friday evening) seems to move all the way at about 30mph..
Think the reports going around are exagerating how bad it is. Seen worse on the M25 on a "normal day"..
My lorry drivers are getting through these areas ok during the day.
If you need an update, PM me and I will let you know how the roads were.
Or you could you just take the M2 & A2 to avoid the delays.
Enjoy your holls

I just used the A2 instead and encountered no congestion at all (11pm Friday).

Tim Tastic,
Hi travelling down to get chunnel on Friday 5.30pm what is the current situation on the M20 ???
Looking at the map as yiou say come down the M2 the A2 , is it then worth cutting the corner across on the A260 toward folkstone and then onto the M20 to the chunnel terminal ??
Thanks for your local knowledge

Having got stuck for hours (5 hours from Maidstone to Ashford) when Kent got a smattering of snow, I can't help but think that there has to be a better means than closing the M20? From what I say they park up the lorries in Lane 1 and 3, leaving the Hard shoulder and Lane 2 free - can't they park on HS and Lane 1 and then have Lane 3 for through traffic and Lane 2 for emergency vehicles etc?
