Gary, you were lucky with the M40. I left rather later than you and it went all horrible between J5 and J4 (Wycombe). Usual symptoms of getting near capacity, traffic slows to a standstill for no apparent reason, then speeds up again. Rinse, repeat. The loss of a lane (as an exit lane) as you approach J4 doesn't help but that didn't seem to be the real problem.

I suspect that my main alternative, the M1, would have been rather worse than the M40 as there are major roadworks near Luton.
