MOTORISTS using the M42 southbound in Warwickshire have been warned of long delays trying to access the M6.

The M42 exit to the M6 at Junction 8 is closed due to over-running roadworks and traffic is reportedly queuing back several miles to Tamworth at Junction 10.

Drivers have been warned of delays of up to 45 minutes.

Rail commuters are also being warned of delays of around 20 minutes to CrossCountry services between Birmingham New Street and Leamington Spa. The delays are due to a signalling problem at Dorridge.

Also, people planning to fly to Istanbul have been advised by Birmingham Airport to check the status of their flights before flying. This is due to ongoing disruption following the terrorist attacks at the airport.
