M25 Junction 2 advice.... Ebbsfleet

[NDA]

I have to go to Paris at the end of the week and will be using the new 'Ebbsfleet' terminal at Junction 2 on the M25.

I'll be driving anticlockwise from Junction 10 at a very early hour but, as I don't know this end of the M25, I was wondering if it's close enough to the Dartford Tunnel to need to leave extra time for queuing traffic time?

Junction 2 looks to be about a mile and a half south of the tunnel....

Thanks

I guess it all depends on the time of day you are going round there you say a very early hour but how early is that. At the moment there are roadwork’s on that part of the M25 (starting at J3 I think) but unless its rush hour they should no cause to much of a delay. With regard to your question about queuing for the tolls for the tunnel this is only ever a problem in rush hour or if one of the tunnels has been closed like they always use to on Sunday nights but it has been a few years since I have been on that part of the M25 at that time of day.

How early is very early? You should have no problems if you are getting to Ebbsfleet before 6 to 6.30.
Certainly the A2 in that direction is clear and the tunnel should be ok as well, depending on the vagaries of the M25 and tunnel.

That's good advice - thanks.

Early is before 6am.

Many thanks......

For the benefit of other people, park free at Bluewater and get a cab or bus to Ebbsfleet, about 6 minutes away ...

The journey there was a disaster - no signs to Ebbsfleet and it doesn't exist on the sat nav.

I caught my train with seconds to spare. Not impressed!
