It seems that my exciting journey wasn't going to end with a boring bus ride home.
Just after rejoining the motorway at Birmingham, about 04:30, the Megabus coach I was on suffered a blow out on one of the rear tyres. Lots of flapping & banging noises as we came to a quick halt on the hard shoulder, followed by the pungent acrid smell of burning rubber.
Megabus quickly got another coach, and after transferring us and the luggage on the hard shoulder we were on our way. I did arrive at Victoria an hour late, but as the Maidstone coach doesn't leave for another three hours, it wasn't a problem.
