Hi guys

I have to go to an end of year sales meeting at a hotel in Cheltenham I am travelling from York and I remember last time when I used it it was horrendous with a 50mph limit for fracking miles, it was a few years ago since I used it but knowing how crap our workmen are is it to be avoided and if so which way would I go

many thanks

Depends what time you go. I will go through about 9.30 so unless an accident all should be clear. If you go through before 7am also clear. The two hours between 7 and 9 can be somewhat manic. There are no Roadworks at the moment from jun9 to Jun 3

Hi mate I will be leaving home at around 7.30am so I assume I will be hitting it after 9.00am is it still undergoing roadworks or are they finished as I remember they went on for miles and miles!

Download waze on your phone and tell it what time you want to get there for. For a big meeting like that I usually allow 45 mins extra.

Thanks I will have a look at that.

I always avoid it when there's something on at the NEC.

Thanks Eddie I wonder is there another way to go maybe going further south on the M1 and avoiding the A/M42

You could have a look at A38>M5.
