As the Bank Holiday weekend approaches, millions of Britons are gearing up for a well-deserved break. However, their travel plans could be thrown into disarray due to a combination of rail strikes and congested roads.
Rail Strikes Set to Cause Havoc
Rail passengers are facing significant disruptions as staff walkouts threaten to paralyse services across the country. Major routes are expected to be severely affected, with reduced frequencies and cancellations likely.
Roads Braced for Gridlock
With rail alternatives limited, roads are predicted to experience heavy congestion. Popular getaway routes, including those to coastal areas and national parks, are expected to bear the brunt of the traffic surge.
Top Tips for Travellers
- Check rail schedules before travelling
- Allow extra time for road journeys
- Consider travelling outside peak hours
- Have alternative routes planned
Transport experts are urging travellers to plan ahead and remain flexible with their arrangements to minimise disruption during what could be one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
