M25 serious incident?

[jacobyte]

Police helicopter hovering over the M25 Juntion 10 right now. My office is one field away from the M25 and the chopper's loudspeaker is saying:

"There has been a serious incident. Please remain in your vehicles until further notice".

Anyone know anything?

[mrs trackside]

Some sort of lorry fire?

any suggestion of you-know-what causing a car and truck to burst into flames?

Will all hijackers/terrorists/numpty motorists please stay off the roads on and around the M25/Gatwick area tomorrow morning between 5am and 8am please.

I have a plane to catch.

We'll be on the road about that time, but we're going to Norfolk, so we shouldn't get in your way

I thank you.

Go round the Darford way (i,e, clockwise), and you'll be fine.

M25 anti 16 miles stationary traffic from J13 to J9

AVOID M25

Down the M1/A14/M11

Redbridge roundabout - A12
Blackwall Tunnel - A2
South Circular - A205
Brighton Road - A23
This turns into the M23 south of Coulsdon...and you're there.

Allow some serious extra time though - the route above will get you there but you'd better bring a packed lunch cos everyone else will be avoiding the M25...

good luck

Come up the M3, go across the M25 and head towards Sunbury.

At Sunbury come off and head to Hampton Court. At Hampton Court take a right towards Hinchley Wood.

At the Scilly Isles, (2 roundabouts) there is a big pub on your right on the corner. At this point take the first left which will take you straight into the bottom of Surbiton.
