M25 Closed at LHR - 26/08/2009 13:17

Just heard that the M25 is closed, both directions, near LHR due to a gas leak and not due to re-open until this evening at the earliest.

Update: This just posted (slightly different from the Classic FM report as above)

That's going to cause mayhem - thanks for the heads up.

I edited the thread title to add the time and date for reference to avoid future confusion.

I'm glad I am over here, my memories of the M25 are not pleasant, even when it was moving 'freely', so I guess the whole area around LHR is now stopped dead.

Sally Traffic on Radio 2 was keeping everyone informed all afternoon what was going on.
