Rail passengers hoping to travel over the August bank holiday weekend face a host of problems from strikes and engineering works, while some intercity rail journeys will take much longer or prove impossible.
Road and air travellers seeking to make the most of the final bank holiday before Christmas also face congestion. The RAC warns that Saturday will see the highest amount of getaway traffic on the roads, while some major UK airports are having their busiest days of the summer over the long weekend.
