Travelling by Car to Wembley

[cornish mackem]

6 hours?? You planning on walking the last 150 miles like?

Imagine being late because you didn’t leave enough time?
We are going up for the weekend so I’m not late

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Is there any truth in what I’ve heard that on smart motorways you get done if you are clocked at 71 mph ?
And where are these smart motorways ? Part of the m1 must be, so be careful sbc.
I was told from Leeds down to Nottingham is. I was on that stretch today and stuck to 70.
Pain in the arse.

The ambulance drivers who transferred me to Bristol told me there's a trick. If you look carefully at the opposite carriageway you'll see that some gantries have a camera behind them. If there is, there'll also be one on your side of the road. Not all the gantries have them. They might have been bullshitting me, but they didn't seem the type. Problem is, the cameras aren't easy to spot at first.

I’m on there most days mate and can confirm I have only seen them “active” when there is a speed restriction showing on the gantry (60,50,40)

It's been confirmed that the ones round the M4/M5 interchange are active all the time. Not sure about the M1.

Think I'd rather keep my eyes on the road ahead.

What are passengers for?

 

[Botchie]

They didn't when I saw Shields a couple of years ago, and that was a much smaller crowd. They just want to get people on a tube of any kind.

Seems daft that as people using either or will need to be on different platforms. At league grounds such as White heart lane and Upton park the queue used to go down pretty quickly as the trains run regularly.

They were just holding people at the top, and filling up the platforms as the trains were due.

Taking wrappers off kets and putting them into my gob.

Just checked the map, only directly outside station is anytime, the rest mostly mon-fri and mon-sat. Tried putting the map up for you from council website but no luck.

I drove back after the game in 2014.

One of the worst experiences of my life.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

Doubt the Gorbals, more like Blytheswood Sq

Cane it? Masochism creeping into thread now

Blytheswood Square, oh yes!!

If im ever in an ambulance I hope they dont give 2 fecks about speed cameras!

I was just being transferred between two hospitals. They can only break the speed limit if they are using blue lights - hardly appropriate in my case.

Why?

 

[deleted user 785]

Not if that person is a confident driver who loves driving and has goals and targets and achievements he wants to attain. I feel it would be a massive feather in my cap.

I reckon you could be in the next honours list if you succeed with this epic journey.

At least an MBE

What if you park in Silkswoth near the Post Office for your money @KENT-FTM

You spit a mouthful of beer all over the pub table

 

[Horatio Moustache]

I genuinely love @ShieldsBlackCat2015 threads. This place wouldn't be the same without him.

 

[Harbourlights]

Why?

The rain was that heavy that everyone was pulling into the nearest services North of London

It rained? We stayed over but I struggle to remember what we did after the game .

I do have a number to contact for Ford Emergency Assistance. It's in my glovebox in the folder thing that includes the service history. I can also call it on my SYNC 1.0 system so long as it is connected via Bluetooth to my phone which it always is.

I have that and it's for accidents. It rings 999 for you if the airbag is deployed to get the emergency services to you quicker. You can either speak to them or they'll use the GPS from your phone if you're unconscious.

They don't come out for mechanical failures or running out of petrol.
