Advice and warnings for anyone travelling this Christmas as strikes, road closures and delays to cause chaos
A culmination of rail strikes, road congestion and Border Force walk-outs at airports will make it challenging for those attempting to travel across, or enter, the country. Border Force agents will begin an eight-day stint of industrial action on Friday , while rail workers will stage a fresh round of strikes from Christmas Eve .
Here are the warnings and advice issued if you are travelling by train or car, or attempting to get into the UK via an airport in the run-up to Christmas. Roads likely to be hit by congestion this week include the M25, the M60 near Manchester, the M6 in north-west England and the M40 in Oxfordshire. National Highways said it will ensure almost 98% of England’s motorways and major A-roads are fully open until the end of January 2 by either completing or lifting roadworks.
It is the third set of strikes carried out by the union this month, in a long-standing dispute over pay, jobs and working conditions. National Rail warned: "The rail industry is working hard to minimise the effect that this will have on services but it is inevitable that services will be cancelled or severely disrupted.
