Well we are off up north in the morning to Blackpool and was wandering if there are any major problems that occure on a daily basis on the M6 :-?

[Jimbob]

Birmingham is always slow....

personally think the toll road is worth is weight in gold 

[TheBoy]

Yup, toll road it.

Then the whole section from Stafford up to Knutsford can be a bit tedious, then it generally opens up a bit

Was planning to use the toll road and maybe come onto the M6 at Cov as I know where aI can get a cheap cup of coffee for nowt ( families  do have ther uses sometimes  )

Thanks for that ... well worth knowing

Take gloves and a damn warm coat. Its freezing up north! The M6 around Sandbach is always busy. Oh, and just go the toll road, it's £5 but it will save you tearing your hair out around Brum. Expensive, but having done a similar run, it's worth it

edit:- bah, beaten like a ginger stepchild

i like the m6 toll rd. just fly through 

[Jimbob]

Variable.  I have to go to Manx a fair bit for work. Some days you sail through, probably never going below 40mph. Other days, handbrake on.

Not the free-for-all it once was. I've routinely seen people pulled in by undercover cars getting tickets on there.

Do they still have the unmarked silver skoda  patroling the toll rd??

Just wished now I'd  stuck to my guns and left in the early hrs of the morning o well its all the fun of the fair I suppose

Watch out on one of the Bridges between j14 stafford and j15 at stoke. always unmarked cars waiting to pounce there (normally Black Skoda VRS). Roadworks at junc 10 and 12 for 2- 3 mile streches down to 40 mph.
