We are going by car to Dagenham on the 19th. I am sure that as it is the last Saturday before Christmas the roads will be very busy,if anyone has any good ideas which roads to use or avoid particularly coming home I would appreciate hearing them.

Guessing you're coming from Bristol, I'd be tempted to park at the Queensmere Shopping centre in Slough, (opp Tesco) then get a travelcard (fast train to Paddington, 25 mins), then at Padd gat a Hammersmith & city line (pink) to Barking, then District line (green) to Dagenham East !!!

I'd take something like this route - its pretty easy until you get close www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Bristol,+City+of+Bristol,+UK/Dagenham,+Greater+London,+UK/@51.6305608,0.0514687,11z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x4871836681b3d861:0x8ee4b22e4b9ad71f!2m2!1d-2.58791!2d51.454513!1m5!1m1!1s0x47d8a448d12a6dc7:0x83842afdfe024064!2m2!1d0.14743!2d51.53889!3e0 Parking near the stadium is possible, but takes a bit of finding The M11 is shut for resurfacing in Dec/Jan, but mainly overnight and sometimes only lane closures. Its usually easy - the bit to worry about is the M25, but I'd look at BBC Travel for a clue as to any problems |
