Starting a new job in bristol soon, just wondering about Bryn Glas tunnels and the bridge.
What are the best times to miss the traffic east bound in the morning?
And west bound in the evening?
Bit of a vague question I know but my job is price work, so hours in my control.
Can't help with your traffic concerns but please make sure you've had your vaccinations before entering Brizzel!
ha,ha,just give friday and monday a miss
My sincere condolences... can't you work from home? :shrug:Quote:

I had about 7.5 years of travelling on the M4 every morning to Brizz, leaving at 6:00am and returning no later than 16:00pm. On the times the tunnel was blocked returning, I'd come off at Magor services and take the road that links to the A48 Southern Distributor past Spytty Park & Transporter bridge and link up at Tredegar Park. Trouble was a lot of others were of the same mind.Quote:

I used to work in Yate too, never had any problems in the mornings but getting home was often a nightmare, I refused to be bothered by it though, I had good music in the car.Quote:
