Had to drive to Birmingham International station last night to rescue Mrs B after a massive train delay. About 90 miles round trip via M1>M6>M42.
The M1 from J16 to 19 is smart m/way with all lane running 24/7. The M6 between J2 and J4 is being 'upgraded' to the same system and was due to go live next month. That change has been postponed because of the smart M/Way pause announced after the Panorama programme.
I wonder how long the pause will last because my overwhelming impression was that the running smart M/way was a darned site safer than the roadworks. It's not just that section, there are miles, probably 100+ miles, so twice that in carriageway miles where work is suspended.
How long will this go on for?
