I really do feel for people stuck on a motorway like that in 30 degree heat.

Hope everyone gets down to Watford on time. Sky Sports for me, luckily.

Horrendous journey so far. I’m on the coach tonight but we’ve just come off the motorway near Milton Keynes.

Delays on the London Overground Watford branch.
Best to use a Westmindlands train from Euston to Watford if you're coming from the center out.

No. Just off motorway. It’s about three miles but very busy. What a journey.

Got there with about 30 mins to spare but a lot of horror stories from people trying to get there.

We’ve been advised to return via the M40 due to further problems.

Who drives in the M6 and M42 on a Friday?

If you've not learned by now to avoid those two roads then God help you
