I drove through just after they had shut the Essex side, narrowly avoiding a police car that did an emergency stop in front of me near the barriers, cleared through must have been close to 5pm to see a 7 mile tail back past junction 30
A few minutes later and I've had been stuck there for 7 hours
I didn't see the EOD bot though (:

Usual health and safety rubbish. Instead of someone just going up to the bag (or whatever) and looking at it, they have to close everything. Mo wonder this country is on the slide.

M1 was just as bad today - every junction was '40mph, Queue after Next Junction...'
And I only had Radiohead on in the car, filled my iPhone with it in a bout of misery along with some Joy Division and a bit of The Lemonheads......
Love the bridge in 'The Bends' tho, ragged playing and cracking squealies....

Loony apparently: BBC News - Dartford Crossing closure causes M25 traffic chaos
I love the Wail version though: Dartford Crossing closed in both directions as police arrest man over suspicious item found on motorway | Mail Online
Tonight Kent Police would only say the man had been arrested for 'acting strangely'. They did not say whether he was found in possession of any weapon.Some motorists reported seeing a ‘foreign’ man shouting and behaving suspiciously around the toll booths at the Dartford Crossing on the M25.One person posted on Twitter: 'Crazed foreign man seen running between cars at dartford crossing shouting.”
While @BoyceDrew tweeted: 'Security incident at Dartford tnl. I came through there early and some foreign guy was running through the cars shouting at everyone.Tags: None
