Avoid Reading
« on: 30 October 2013, 11:09:41 »

...until March.

Especially junction 10 of the m4 and East Reading. In fact just avoid Reading generally but especially seeing as they're repairing the viaduct over the river lodden on the 329M between the the motorway and the first junction you come to, Reading bound, of winnersh.

...actually, 329M Bracknell bound is a nightmare as well, during rush hour since they built a new housing estate and extra roundabout after the Binfield junction.

Don't know if I've ever mentioned it but, I hate Reading.

Couldn't work out wtf you were on about (nothing unusual there) until I realised you were talking about a shithole in Berkshire and not war and peace. ;D

I hate Reading.  I guess Caversham Bridge is still a mare, so my route home will be A34? <sigh>

Mind you, I live in a place where everything is a journey, as even the DIY shop shuts half day on a Sat (and Wed, and obviously not open on a Sunday)

Yes out the a4 towards Newbury, jcn 12 and west

Although what time? And where from? If your at that exchange near Whitley, jcn 11 will be quicker but go out the old Basingstoke rd instead of the a33...?

But where ever you are head north west. Don't go south east. Google maps with traffic on will highlight Readring of death.

Reading Trunks. Top end of the old Basingscrote Road. So prob see if I can get the old A4 back to M4?

Although the NCDC only works when the ABS does, and TomTom is being, well, TomTom, useless bloody thing.

Yep, but its a longer route from there, so depending on time of day, its probably 50/50 between 11 and 12.

But you can bet whatever you do will be wrong.

Fixed that for you. :y

Errrrr . . . . . you're not going to believe this. I actually still have one, not in  use of course, just hiding in the bottom of a cupboard. If I wait long enough will it become a collectors item worth £££££££££   ;D Yeah right   ::)
