Final rant about being stuck on the A3 coming into London today in a traffic jam that moved five miles in five hours. No exit roads. No service stations Elderly ladies hobbling into the bushes in vain search for a dignified place to pee. Children howling.
@TfL said they were doing “emergency repair works” near the Tolworth tunnel. But all day, drivers that finally made it there saw no work happening at all. Nor did I. Nothing. Just a lot of cones. So that
@TfL message was apparently not true.
I find I can’t let this this lie. How can this happen ? How can it be Iegal? What part of Broken Britain accounts for this ? The problem here’ isn’t Half Term or bank holiday because this is going INTO London. So what is this ? Is this pure incompetence ? The consequence of outsourcing to dodgy contractors? Or something shadier ? Maybe someone has inside information that could anonymously share ?
