How long did it take you to get through it once opened @Lucy ?We got to the queue just as it reopened...
Luckily we set off earlier than checking out time, so M5 and surrounding roads hadn't built up quite so much by then. Still miles of queues but would have been worse if starting off later. A38 was quite a good run once we reached it and got through the motorway island chaos , phone took us same way as good diversion signs. Used it as a sight seeing tour, and lovely to get back onto an empty motorway to then whizz to Taunton Dene services.
Witnessed some crazy driving afterwards though as some were making up for lost time!
