Cant beat Sally Traffic on R2...


For long distance journeys she is good company:-)


For the few minutes she is on but the rest of the time you have to put up
with R2. No TA on the nationals.


I have often wondered why that is the case.

But I also stick the TA on for more local details.


I don't normally bother, except if it's "drive time". The quality of the
information varies greatly, not only from station to station but by time
of day.... And even during drive time
some stations only report on the places that always clag up and nowhere
else. Then of course they assume everyone knows where the junction of
Broad St and Evan Place is that is closed due to an incident, they
sometimes don't even say which town...

Roundabouts seem to be the worst - you don't even get a road name
which you might be able to search for.

Round here you get Spider Island, Blue Peter Island, Crusader
Island...
