🚗 Heads up, folks! This year’s Christmas getaway is shaping up to be a bumper-to-bumper affair! With a whopping 24.4 million cars expected to hit the roads on Friday alone, the 11 am to 7 pm window on Christmas Eve could see some of the worst traffic delays on record.
🚌 Planning a holiday road trip? Major routes like the M25, M4, M6, and M1 are predicted to be jam-packed. Many will be sharing the roads with last-minute shoppers and commuters, so patience and planning are key. Best present you can give yourself? Time! Check your routes and plan ahead to dodge the gridlock.
🚂 Trains aren’t spared either – key lines will face disruptions due to engineering work, affecting routes into and out of major stations like London Euston and others in Scotland. Travelling by air or sea? Expect busy airports and ports too, with Heathrow and the Port of Dover prepping for record numbers.
😅 So, whether you’re heading to nan’s for a festive feast or on a getaway holiday, brace for delays. The experts are urging everyone to plan ahead, pack some festive cheer, and maybe a playlist or two to keep the spirits high on the road!
🚦 Stay safe, plan ahead, and may your journey be as smooth as possible this holiday season!🎄✨
