Travellers have been urged to plan ahead amid concerns of getaway chaos over the Easter weekend. Motorways, airports and ferry terminals are expected to be packed over the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend.
Experts have predicted that Good Friday will be the busiest getaway day for trips and staycations. Some 27.6 million car journeys are expected to take place over the weekend, according to the AA.
Drivers have been urged to set off on Thursday or leave early on Saturday if possible. The Department for Transport said it is working with operators to minimise disruption, but is advising people to allow extra time for their journeys.
