That 30 mins between X21s also makes a huge difference, on a related note. The guy in front misses all the picktree lane stuff and all the slip lane chaos. I stay in the middle lane up past the services for that reason. People stuck indicating left onto A1231 on the left lane then just after the brow of the hill A194 southbound traffic and A195 departing traffic at the services. Apparently Birtley is just as bad, so I have the short straw by having that run at that time.

Hopefully if I still have it going on from christmas, it'll be a lot calmer and less chaos from The Angel to Chester.
