Traffic

Anyone know how the traffic/floods are looking around Darton? I am just about to head back North from Nottingham,

Cheers,

 

Centre of Darton is closed.

 

Terrible

constant queueing traffic up oakwell lane all day suggests Grange Lane may be closed

 

fecking hell, can't be that bad?

Quite a bit of flooding up here, which is erm..."fun" on a bike! Nothing been closed off though.

 

Chaotic

As mentioned, centre of Darton is closed. I'd come from Halifax via Flockton, and the roundabout at Haigh was queued up as traffic was trying to get up the hill at Haigh....never known so much traffic going up there. At J37 of M1 the traffic on the sliproad from southbound was queued onto the motorway, Dearne FM reported that traffic wasn't moving on Harborough Hills (a caller had mentioned they had been trying to get out of the Alhambra car park for 2 hours and gone down 1 level)....so I assume a few people trying to take alternative routes to get to Wakefield Road.

 

darton is shut by post office and dearneall road is shut to get to mapp side of darton u need to come off motorway at haigh go to westbretton and across to woolley edge

 

Explains all the traffic on the roundabout at Haigh!

 

What did the M1 southbound look like, trying to decide whether or not to set off from leeds yet?

 

trafic absolute everywhere, earlier left monk bretton to go to keir st (summer lane) took atleast an hour.

 

Motorway was ok (well the bit I was on between Haigh and Barnsley) but the queues on sliproad at Barnsley were stretching onto the motorway

 

daughter just come from town to staincross in 30 mins? up wakefield rd

 

Bloody hell, time to make my tom tom earn its money. Back streets and country roads for me then.

 

Setting off from wakey back to town soon, any roads looking particularly bad?

 

Those are the problem though - best sticking to the motorway.

 

wakey road, darton, hudders rd, stairfoot basically EVERYWHERE

 

Doncaster Road Is Bad, Took Me 1 Hour To Get Home Today nt

 

What about royston?

Not fancying trying to get out of wakey, its a pain at the best of times. Bet chantry bridge is a nightmare.</p>

</p>

 

think ill get off at wakey and go up through crigglestone and up to wooley that way nt

 

RE: What about royston?

Everywheres going to be bad, im in leeds trying to plot a way back through wakey, walton, royston then onto monk bretton.

 

I drove from Huddersfield via Cawthorne

Not a single problem. It sounds as though I got lucky - as Darton is my usual route.....
