Trip Advice needed - Glasgow to Cotswolds - honeybear
After a long absence from England myself and swmbo are off on a weeks break down to the Cotswolds on the first Sunday in September leaving our place 30 miles west of Glasgow heading for Oxford for our first night, we plan to leave at around 6 am I feel that as I have not been over the border on any motorways or busy roads for years is there any thing to look out for, places to avoid, is the M6 toll worth it on a Sunday around 1pm. Looking forward to your replies.

So you are coming down the M6, round the M42 and down the M40?

The M6 toll is not worth using at 13:00 on a sunday southbound, unless they have closed off lanes on the m6 for roadworks. Just listen to the radio and make your choice M6 or M6 toll when you get closer

...and down the M40?....

More direct route for most of the Cotswolds is down the M5 and pull a left at either Tewkesbury or Cheltenham.
