I have an interview in rugby next thursday so will be setting off from teesside at 5:30. Can anyone give me an idea of what to expect traffic wise around rugby?
Traffic being all well and good i expext it to take 3 hours?
Thanks in advance! |

Alternatively, get off at Junction 20 for Lutterworth, then follow the A426 to Rugby. That road crosses the M6 at Jct1 so you cut out a good few miles.
Whereabouts in Rugby is your interview?
I(D) used to live there. |

as you come along the road to rugby you will go past a big tesco on left and halfords on right....continue down to a roundabout....left takes you into town and right goes into newbold...both left and right is newbold road though |

I know it and sometimes the traffic can be a nightmare around there, I would definitely come up the night before. |

If travelling in the morning I'd afford the M6 like the plague, you could get off at junction 21 of the M1 and head across country...M69 then A45..all sorts of ways but to ensure you are not late...best idea is the night before! |

I have driven around that atea a lot, it can get very busy. Considering the price of a travel lodge or Prem Inn, the night before is your best bet - plus, what of condition are you going to be in mentally if you have been ip early, driven for hours and will no doubt get stressed if traffic is heavy? You need to make a good first impression.
Preparation is the key, so night before is a must  |

You never know. What are you like at saying "would you like to go large with that" or "does that complete your order" or "please park in bay 1 we are just waiting on the Big Macs"
If you're any good I could put a word in. |

If you're going to Newbold Road, then turn left at the roundabout at the bottom after you pass the Ford garage. The turn right now takes you to Newbold itself and the Northern relief road.

You can do most of it on the M1, which should be OK early on. I'd set off earlier though, just in case.

Naaaaah, you can type, I refuse to believe you are a Tintown lad.
Could be worse, I suppose, much much worse. Brownsover? Lawford? Brrrrr, don't leave your car there overnight! |

Ended up staying over in lutterworth the night before.
The interview went far better than i expected (considering i contracted man flu in the days leading up to it) i weighed up my competition an reckon im in with a good shout!
Successful candidates will be notified tomorrow!
Thanks again to the people who offered advice! |
