Friday to be busiest travel day of festive season

Friday is anticipated to be the busiest travel day of the festive season in the UK, with millions of cars expected on the roads and airports preparing for 460,000 journeys. The AA advises drivers to plan ahead, check routes, and allow extra time due to potential congestion, particularly around motorway interchanges. Network Rail suggests checking journeys and booking seats in advance, as rail improvement works will lead to closures or restrictions on various routes during the Christmas period.
