Chaos is on the way as people set off home for Christmas over the next few days.
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 (December 23), while rail workers will stage a fresh round of strikes from Christmas Eve (Saturday December 24).
With more pressure put on the roads it's expected to be a busy 48 hours, with some estimated 33.5 million getaway journeys being made according to the AA. Drivers are being warned of disruption, with high traffic levels and some road closures expected to cause major congestion.
