Title: Adding a bit of road to the rail Post by: grahame on February 23, 2009, 21:55:34 As an experiment, I have added some extra information onto the diagram at the top left of these pages - from the Highway Agency, showing where there problems on the major road. Small mauve spots indicate road works, and larger ones road works that are / will cause moderate or heavy congestion. You may (not very often, I hope) see bright red spots that will report accidents; none showing at the moment as I'm testing.

They were delighted (not) to take an hour to travel 7 miles of the M4 approaching Swindon this morning due to a pile-up.
