Easter Holiday Travel Disruption Expected Across UK Trains, Flights, Roads

Easter holiday travel in the UK is expected to face significant disruptions, with around 21 million journeys anticipated over the period. Key intercity rail services will be impacted by planned engineering work, particularly on the West Coast main line from April 19 to 21, leading to reduced services. Airlines are also warning of the highest flight delays in 25 years due to staff shortages at air traffic control centers. The RAC has highlighted four major roads likely to experience the heaviest traffic congestion: the M6, M5, and M25. Motorists are advised to ensure their vehicles are in good condition to cope with the anticipated stop-start traffic, which can lead to increased wear and potential overheating issues. Overall, travelers are encouraged to plan ahead and stay informed about schedule changes.
