Pleased to see you have arrived safely. Let us hope that all those travelling during the next couple of days have good journeys too. (I'm not going anywhere, but expecting people to arrive on Christmas eve.)

Have a lovely time with the family.

Ann, so glad the journey went ok,
May l take this opportunity to wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas and a very happy new year also a big thankyou for being there for me this past year. x

Road was fine, a bit mucky from salt but no ice at all and a good run down. Worst part was Glos where we had freezing fog.

And if you do venture out in the car please take hot drinks,biscuits/food,blankets ,hats.gloves,boots and a big spade.but please keep the spade behind the drivers seat..and of course your mobile phones..


Good Luck

thanks for your help Kemp, it is much appreciated.

congestion from snow accidents...dont need travel friends have today

Look Ann I think the best thing to do is listen to the radio station I gave u and look at the pages on the Oxford travel news which I also gave you the link to and make up your own mind from what you read and think ...
Having had my own son do 13 miles in 5 hours on the A34 I guess I was trying to help

The information I gave you is from what I see when I look out my window

Kemp when you say bad for all of them do you mean they are iced, snow or congested. I have been told the M3 is fine, the M4 looks OK. Is your report based on the fact you have travelled on them today?

bad bad and bad .....but if you catch them at the right time you will be fine BUT I can never tell you which are the "right" times are

Try BBC oxford travel and know that A34 is never good anyway

Sent you pm which may help

Thanks everyone will check those sites out tomorrow before we set off (if we do!)

LOL peter........looking at our area..........no road problems reported...............unless you are travelling by train!!

Elizabeth, that must be a cold-snap.....!

Check the BBC Travel page

http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/

Click on the counties you plan to travel through and it will list all the hot-spots to avoid.

Perhaps that should have read cold-spots.....!

Thanks Elizabeth, I'll get OH to check that out tomorrow before we travel.

there is a BBC site - www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews, Our local version - adding /tyne - is being constantly updated and indicates whether it is snow or an accident or whatever - I think you must have a local equivalent, and that there is one for the area to which you are travelling

nudge.

Can anyone tell me what these roads are like today please? Hoping to travel from Gloucester to Winchester area tomorrow.

Out of Gloucester, across the A417 past Cirencester, Swindon to M4.
M4 to Newbury.
A34 from Newbury
To M3 to twyford turning.
