Maybe not, but heavy traffic in the area.

Can't see anything on the Berkshire traffic news?

Nor can I!! This info has come from someone in my office who gets updates on her phone regarding M4 traffic.

Think she must be wrong. Traffic England site looks fine. The A34 between Newbury and Oxford is messed up though, maybe she got confused with that...

J12 is west of 8/9 so it couldn't be westbound.

The plot thinnens

Yes, that was my point. Won't be warning the wife to expect traffic just yet.

Sally Traffic has nothing to fear...
