Hey guys,
I just wanted to know if traffic will be much less busy on Sundays on the UK motorways.
I am asking as I am travelling from Holyhead to Dover on Sunday July 2nd.
Sometimes I take the 9pm boat in Dublin and travel to Dover at night time which is great as no queues. But it is very tiring as I would be awake already a full day
Last year when I came back from Dover to Holyhead it was a Friday afternoon and the queues were outrageous and insane!! Especially where you go on the M40...The M6 is a bit better but still can be a pain.
I am thinking of driving the alternative route anyway.
A55 but at Bangor change to A5 all the way to Telford and then M54 / M6 - M40 - M20.
Will most likely make a pitstop just after London and stay there for the night.
So any not too expensive hotels in that area? Last year I slept in Canterbury, lovely place and close to Dover.
If someone lives along that route, I can hop in for a cuppa!
Thanks for the advice all.
