Jebus. This is going to be bad what with the Severn tunnels being shut in the autumn.

Plaid have put the boot in over that.

20 months of works now?

Terrible twins indeed.

I have to say I have no idea of the engineering involved or what is required.

Dunno. Bit of string question. Last time they shut that section they shifted people off a Coldra (jcn 24) and back on at Tredegar (jcn 28). Both ways. I thought I would be clever and use the heads of the valley to get to the Midlands but got caught by roadworks there at that time. So timed it so it would be open in the direction I needed only to get caught in the overruns from the nights works still shut after the claimed opening times. I accept that that happens.

However, if you can get off at 25a and back on at 26, that is a short hop.

Eastbound at the moment, might get home tonight.

Threw me the other day, thought the signs were bust, no limit posted.

Been getting some odd speeds. 40 west bound coming up over the hill before them, then national limit, then no limit. Yippee get a shift on the 50!

Think they are using one of them spinnng arrows on a bit of paper to set the limits.
