The traffic from the airport was reported to have been taking in excess of 2 hours to get to the M1, which had 2 lanes closed northbound. I can confirm that from the M1 to the airport around 6 large snowmen have appeared at the side of the road and in the central reservation of the A505 and Junction 10A of the motorway.
Also the shuttle bus was not running from the station so streams of passengers pulling luggage had to leg it to the airport
