Travellers warned of bank holiday road and rail delays

Travelers are warned of potential road and rail delays over the upcoming bank holiday weekend, with heavy traffic, rail works, and strikes causing disruption. Approximately 17.6 million car journeys are expected in the UK, leading to congestion in the South East and South West regions. With events like the Notting Hill Carnival and music festivals attracting large crowds, motorists are advised to plan ahead and expect delays, especially on key routes like the M5 and M20. Rail passengers should also check for service changes due to engineering works and strikes, affecting routes like London King's Cross to Peterborough and services by Avanti West Coast and CrossCountry.
