Drivers are being warned to expect long delays as millions of people embark on bank holiday getaways this weekend.
Drivers wanting to avoid the worst congestion are being urged to travel before 9am or after 5pm throughout the bank holiday period. RAC spokesperson Alice Simpson said: “With Covid travel restrictions a thing of the past, catching up with friends and family is still the first priority for nearly half of drivers making leisure trips over the bank holiday.
“In addition to the majority of motorists planning day trips and short breaks, our data shows local routes to city and out-of-town shopping centres could see heavy traffic, so it’s best to head out early morning or evening if possible.” Meanwhile, journeys on Britain’s rail network will be disrupted due to engineering work and industrial action.On Sunday, no trains will run between London Euston and Milton Keynes or between Glasgow and England due to work on the West Coast Main Line at Crewe, Wigan and other locations.Network Rail’s system operator director Anit Chandarana said: “The vast majority of the railway will be open for business as normal.
“We’ve also got more work to build a new station at Cambridge South, which will play a key role in developing the city and its new biomedical campus in a sustainable way.”
