Bit of a vague question I know but my job is price work, so hours in my control.
I did it for 7 months, towards the end of last year, and the beginning of this year, I was leaving at 06.00 in the mornings and generally taking an hour to get to the office (in Yate), thus was using the old bridge, evenings i would vary the route between the old and new bridge, leaving the office at 16.30, the bridge was usually fine without too much delay, but from Magor services to the Bryn Glas tunnels was chaotic, the only variable was how chaotic!!!, i really liked my job in Yate but the travelling wore me down and eventually jumped when the opportunity came, I would want to be through the tunnels before 06.30, gets very congested after this, drivers get impatient and the accidents begin, even the early finish on Friday 13.00 usually encountered significant traffic, starting around the celtic manor.
