If only the M1 was as quiet today as that M6. I had the misfortune to drive to London the day after boxing day. Immediately the traffic warning system lit up red with warnings of 6 miles of slow-moving traffic, 3 miles of stationary traffic followed by 5 miles of slow-moving traffic (that proved to be stationary) etc. Approaching Northampton the situation grew even worse so I gave up and switched to the A5, A413 and had a nearly traffic-free run through Buckingham, Aylesbury, Great Missenden, etc - and some lovely countryside. Coming back that evening up the M1 there was just average traffic until nearing Derbyshire, there was hardly any at all.
