JulieH Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 After junction 14 the traffic started, stationary for 20 mins and just moving again up the hill. All 3 lanes open traffic flowing once you get to Stafford services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderrider Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Coming home from Liverpool yesterday took me best part of 5 hours, that's partly due to the M6 and M5 being total fubar, but also because my bell end of a boss kept the meeting going until 4pm. Thanks for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I know this area well. Come off at J14. Turn right and follow signs for A34 and Stone. You won't have to go very far. Head north once on A34. Follow it all the way (part dual carriageway with plenty of speed cameras). You'll go past Trentham Gardens on left which is south Stoke on Trent. A couple of miles later, turn left onto A500 and after three miles or so you'll come to junction 15 Alternatively, at the A500 junction turn right. This is Stoke's equivalent of the M32! It's a dual carriageway and will take you all the way to Junction 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately there are 2 of us and I am the co pilot and navigator for the outward journey! It has taken us 50 mins to go from junc 15 to 19, just sheer weight of tragic .
