    There were no signs on approach (other than inside lane on roundabout being closed) and then no clear diversion. We didn’t get home until almost midnight, although half of that time was trying to get out of the Courthouse carpark.

    Yep, same with us. No signs on the drive over from Brontecestershire, but closed at 37 for the trip home. Clear run on the A629 through Huddersfield, but added a fair old wedge of time on the journey.

    Roberts had tried to throw himself under a lorry, but it slid under his dive!

    Yes, it was a perfect end to the night, getting to Dodworth and having to turn round. Let’s hope it messed all the Bolton fans up as well.

    Anyone driving down to East Midlands Airport, I would say at least 50 of the 60 miles down there are under 50 mph restrictions, with the signs indicating work continuing to Spring 2025.

    What time was that? I drove home last night via the M1 and was open down to junction 19

    Edit - was it closed northbound?

    They could have shared those plans!

    Thanks. It’d have been nice for them to post signs about it and a proper diversion put in place.

    I wondered why there were so many of the Bolton divs going back over Woodhead.
