Commute from Harrow to Marlow
 

Is this - via A40/M40 - going to be a nightmare ?

Any idea on time ?

Leaving Harrow in the morning, returning evening.

You will be going against the prevailing traffic, so it shouldn't be a
problem once you get to the A40.

The A312 is very slow going north from Northolt Target in the evening. Maybe
coming off at Polish War Memorial and going past South Ruislip station might
be better.

....although sometimes Handy Cross (M40 junction 4) and the A404 can be a
bit of a pain.

Shouldn't be too bad - when coming back in the evening, make sure you go up
through Marlow Bottom to get onto the M40 instead of via the A404. It's a
godsend of a road that can save absolutely ****loads of time. I've cut
through that way instead of staying on the A404, and been 2nd at the lights
when the A404's been queuing all the way back to the A4155 junction.

Exit at J3 and use the Flackwell Heath / Sheepridge Lane route then.

That might be a good idea going to Marlow in the morning (not too familiar
with the traffic westbound coming off at J4 in the morning), but in the
evening, coming through Marlow Bottom, to go straight up to Handy Cross and
onto the M40 shouldn't be too much trouble at all - the roundabout itself is
never that bad from what I've seen, it's just the queues up to it, mainly on
the A404 from the South.

I've often been held up in a two lane jam all the way up the hill to the
M40 from the Marlow junction. The OP should consider other ways to get
from Marlow to the M40, if possible! It might even be quicker to go down
to the M4 and east as far as J3, then north through Yeading and
Northolt.

Why? That's absolute lunacy. The road up past Marlow Bottom (Wycombe Road)
is a very easy and hassle-free way to get up to Handy Cross. The longest
queue I've ever encountered going that way has been about 3 cars long, and
that's been with the A404 grinding to a halt just after the Marlow junction.
Of course, you could go up Sheepridge Lane (IIRC) and up through Flackwell
Heath, getting on the M40 at Junction 3.

Using "main" roads it would almost certainly reduce the journey time.

Sounds fine, I've not tried that rat run, but thanks for alerting me to
it - I will next time I'm there!
