SKHunter Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Does everybody go by road these days? Trains in my day. Northern Rail RMT are striking so there mightn't be any local service to the ground. Cheers Failing Grayling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have posted elsewhere S Hunter, buses replacing trains on that route, weekends, long overrunning engineering work, Mel might be going by helicopter...... could be best option ?

From the East, traffic will be diverted northwards from the A50 at Uttoxeter on to the B5030 for a few hundred yards to the roundabout with the A518. Traffic will turn right there, cross back over the A50 along The Dove Way and continue on the A518 clockwise around Uttoxeter and follow the road towards Stafford. Vehicles will then follow the A51 and A34 towards Stoke-on-Trent, before joining the A500 and then the A50 to Blythe Bridge. The route is reversed from the West. Ignore that, its bloody miles round the Wrekin! Follow the first bit onto the B5030 but then turn first left signed Spath, Stramshall. Follow the road up through the village of Stramshall admiring the medieval church on the right and back down to the A522 with extensive views of two JCB factories opposite, turn right for Tean, Cheadle. In Tean follow Blythe Bridge signs and this will bring you to the A50 a mile or so before Meir Tunnel and through the picturesque concrete canyons of the Potteries, No more than 10-15 minutes longer than the normal route. Stuck in heavy traffic on this route lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife is in Southampton. She will stand out. 18st of attitude and loads of shopping bags that are and look expensive. She is with her mates so tattooed women and body piercings should also identify them. Lucky you were all not going to Portsmouth. Anyway the route to Bolton is easy. M25, M40, M42, M6 bosh.

Trust me she wouldn't stand out from that description. Overhead the following conversation between 2 posh sounding ladies. "So Jane, have you booked any holidays? " "Well no, I haven't been bothered to yet" "Well I suppose you haven't, being so early." "I mean I could have booked something for skiing. But then I wouldn't go as I don't enjoy skiing. " "Well quite....." Ffs. Thankfully neither fitted the description of Mrs Angry ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still quicker than going the Stafford route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all @uttoxram75's fault and I'm surprised that the main news of the weekend didn't reach my fellow Rams. The M27 is shut for the weekend for emergency bridge repairs and so the A27 was completely clogged and the A3057, so I was forced onto the B3043 and then a cut across to pick up the A335. Took me ages - what a disgrace!! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
