A general moan just to get it off my chest.
Tuesday 25th, we arrived the last flight from Nice, bags delivered quickly, car waiting, etc, etc, but then....
Exit road from T5 to M25 closed for roadworks, with a diversion around the Northen Perimiter Road to the A4 and main tunnel. Wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't also digging up the Northern Perimeter Road just outside the BA Ops building.
Result was 35 minutes from T5 to the M4 spur / A4 roundabout.
Which brainless idiot allowed both sets of roadworks at the same time ??
To cap it all, and nothing to do with HAL, the entry to the M4 Jct 4 was also closed westbound with no advance warning, with a ridiculous detour signposted through Southall and Hayes BACK to Jct 3.
End result - almost 45 minutes from T5 to M4/M25 junction at well past 23.00.
Rant over....
