🌞 **Bank Holiday Travel Alert! 🚗🚉**
Planning a road trip or train journey this August bank holiday? Get ready for some serious travel hustle! Nearly 18 million car journeys are on the cards from Friday to Monday, with Friday looking to be especially jam-packed between 10am and 7pm!
The South East and South West are expected to see the heaviest traffic, especially towards airports and beaches. Keep your patience close, your snacks closer, and plan those pit stops. 🚗✨
For those hopping on the train, heads up! Major rail routes are undergoing engineering works, plus some disruptions due to strike action, especially for CrossCountry services. Avanti West Coast is operating amended schedules, and there’s no long-distance service between London King’s Cross and Peterborough on Sunday. Plan ahead and double-check your train times!
National Express is stepping up, offering 9,000 extra seats for the weekend! They’re seeing a 20% surge in passenger numbers – and we know why!
