Despite there being stationary traffic as far as the eye could see and it being reported on the radio at least 15mins beforehand (3x car smash at Easington - police in attendance).

At what point do control get involved, notify drivers and propose a diversion? Do they keep an eye and ear on issues? Particularly as there's a huge chunk of road which would offer a viable alternative and runs alongside the A19. 

Needless to say, the Solo had a decent load and that slip road isn't the most pleasant place to be on a warm afternoon.
Obviously there's implications for the passengers on-board, the driver and his hours and people waiting at the other end for a northbound service.

Shambles.

Comms like that are done via the ticket machine. Entirely possible the driver missed the notification or just didn't read or correctly understand the message.
At the same time, if it's possible, always a good idea to look onto the motorway/dual carriageway to gauge the traffic before comitting.
