I think it's affected the Manchester area as well and maybe some other larger cities but I do think the reporting should be clearer about the types of areas affected, and that outside of the bigger population centres there isn't really an issue.
Pretty much, and the irony is that it is in areas where public transport is pretty plentiful, we were in rural Norfolk where people would be much more reliant on their cars, we came across a station now and again with no petrol but the majority were running as normal.

Even with regard to London the reporting last night was that 20% of stations were closed, but flipping that 80% are open, what we noticed as well is that drivers were attaching themselves to long queues but if they drove on a bit further there was a petrol station with no queue or a small queue
