I've just been called by a friend on the A27 and there's been an accident in our old friend the Southwick tunnel. Avoid if possible. Current time is 12.56pm

Cheers

Traffic is coming east from the tunnel, I can see it from the garden so it's not closed

Go through the tunnel, only a short delay, shame my coach driver didn't realise and has just wasted time detouring off at Holmbush only to rejoin the t'other side of the tunnel. Knob.

Hope he isn't on here, how far is it to walk from Falmer to Sompting?
