Traffic patterns we drive through
The actual road, not the schedule.
M3 J14 + M27 J3 + A33 is the standard Southampton city route, 75 mi. For cruise terminals, M27 J3 + Western Docks Road bypasses the city entirely. Cruise day Saturday/Sunday A33 + Eastern Docks slows from 09:00 — leave Heathrow 90 minutes earlier than seems necessary.
