For those of us who use this every day, I'm sure I'm not the only one who have experienced a noticeable worsening of the queues in the morning rush hour. The 'normal' queue is about back to Lakeside (junction 30) but for the past 6 weeks it's been between junction 29 and 30, a increase of about 3 miles!!

I've contacted Highways Agency to ask whether they know a reason for this e.g. a change in the phasing of lights letting more traffic onto the M25 but they have said that nothing has changed.

Any ideas anybody?

Nothing has changed at the tolls yet; that all happens in October.

I can't believe that the amount of traffic using this area in the morning rush hour has increased that much over the last month or so. Be interested to hear from people who join at junction 31 - has anything happened around here that could have had a knock-on effect to the M25?
