Today, according to most traffic data services, the whole of the M25 is at a crawl because of the bombings in London and suspension of all public transport.
I have TTN5 with TomTom Plus traffic on my desk, and I've just plotted a route that includes an almost complete lap of the M25. TomTom is cheerfully trying to tell me that there are no incidents along the route - in fact, there are hardly any traffic problems shown across the whole country.
Is this a temporary glitch that others are seeing too, or is the service really this poor? TTN3 always seemed to report a lot more traffic problems.

Well I travelled on the m25 from Jct 13 through to Jct 21 on that (very sad) day, around 3pm. Traffic was a bit heavy, but I travelled pretty much at a constant 40-70mph (contraflow permitting of course).
I checked the various services too, but didnt see anything of concern. TrafficMaster showed a bit of traffic around the Jct 13-16, but then there usually is around there, due to the afforementioned contraflow. _________________ --

Interestingly, I had to drive in to London on saturday for work. My office is between Liverpool street and Aldgate east. Around Aldgate east a number of the roads were closed, which is quite understandable.
However, what is not understandable is how Traffic got it wrong? The had marked up the wrong roads as being closed. I ended up ignoring TT5 completely and guessing which roads I could go down and which were shut.
Hounsditch and Beavis Marks were both shut, but Trafic had both as open.
