what a cofuffle that was getting home! m62 was blocked off was on the way to hull then on some little road to bradford join the m62 to hit a load of traffic.. poor organisation imo didnt they know there was a rugby match on and there would be more than normal people wanting to access the motorway without being diverted the completely wrong way going round in a circle for half an hour and then having to take a chance ?!
JEEEEEZ!
just wondering what did you think of it all !?

They should have realised when all 62,000,000 Warrington fans were going that the slip road shouldn't have been closed eh?

A little inconvenient I suppose, ok they closed off access to the M62 but you don't expect to diverted back past leeds. Still home by 11.30 so not too bad.

Must say Friday night games to Leeds especially from the North West are a pain in the proverbal ****.

There's a long stretch of the M62 around Hartshead Moor where there's been a 50mph restriction for about a year now. It stretches for around 10 miles in total, a real pain every 2 weeks when coming home to watch the Wire. Nothing ever appears to have been al;tered/repaired etc.

That traffic diversion was daft. I took the opposite route towards Halifax - no traffic and Rejoined the 62 before heartshead moor and just caught the tail end of the 50 zone. Was home by 11. Was suprised to see a wires coach on the Manchester stretch of the 62 that early though.

They could easilt have waited an extra 40 minutes to close that slip road etc and allow traffic to get away. I had problems approaching Warrington when some to55er working for the highways agency decided to chuck a cone across the path of my car which then bounced back towards traffic and his mate decided to run across traffic to move some more. If they were kids we would be asking "where are their parents"

Just go down the A65 like me, we only saw one car going the same way as us, and we arived home just before 11.30. But then i dont think i have enough spare rooms if you all want to stay

dont worry we got lost and ended up in bradford

I ended up going down the M621 to the M62,found the slip road to the M62 closed and ended up having to go the other way towards Hull,to the next junction then off turn around and back up the M62 towards Leeds. And all those 50mph speed limits and cones were a nightmare! Not good late on a friday night when all you are doing is trying to get home!

Off down to the roundabout very confused, picked the sign for Bradford as that was at least back towards home and about 2 miles down the road picked up a sign for Halifax and the M62. 10 Minuite diversion wasn't bad, was back in the house about 20 to 11.
