Is it still blocked? I'm in Chap?

 

RE: Looks like most rail routes out of London also closed

Had a collegue go to Glasgow this morning, left at 8am. Train was restricted to 50mph Phoned us at 2pm to say a tree had fallen on track so wouldn't get to Glasgow till 1500. The train went back to the last stop and she is on her way back to Sheffield. Prob won't get back till 10ish!</p>

Blockage

Police / Fire brigade were just on scene at 3pm. There may have been a car involved, but def a big tree down. I would hope that they could've shifted it by now.

 

Ta very much nt

 

WHere u going?

Just avoid that bend just by the A61/ A629 junction near the Jet Garage. You can get on the A629, but that was fairly horrible too.

 

Yep and it's packed.

 

I think I'm OK, I'm going into Sheffield via Pensitone Road

I hope to cut through Parson Cross. Might be wrong mind!
