As the UK braces for a heatwave with temperatures forecast to climb towards 40C this week, transport operators across England, particularly in London and the South East, are urging people to avoid non‑essential travel and rethink how they get around.
The Met Office has issued warnings of 'severe and significant impacts' from the heat, flagging potential risks to health and disruption across the country's creaking transport networks. Some offices and schools are moving online, but millions of people still have to commute, travel to the airport or get across town.
