Tis a very long way round to use the motorway.

When going south I tend to go A5 and join at Telford anyway

Purely depends on the time you hit it :) I remember it from not so long back when I went to Bristol.  The only real delay I had was a smash on the M6 just after stoke...

Last time I went to Manchester to build a VoIP server, I got stuck there - hit the jam around 8am.  Cleared the M54 Jnc around 1pm....
