Phew, at least they had the sense to pick a Bank Holiday weekend which as we all know means virtually zero traffic on the roads!

Since when has 11th-13th May been a Bank Holiday weekend?

I’m sure with it being planned out so far in advance that the police, Highways Agency and local authorities will have all consulted with each other to ensure that disruption is kept a minimum… you know, like switching off the traffic lights at J24 rbt so that the queues do not stretch back to Nottingham and Leicester respectively?
Oh wait…
