London: The Christmas getaway is really kicking off as folks leave the city for the holidays. It’s expected to be a crazy day on the roads.
Friday is set to be the busiest travel day in the UK, with around 23.7 million journeys planned. That’s a record high since they started tracking this stuff back in 2010.
The M25 near Heathrow is likely to be a major bottleneck, so if you’re driving, be prepared for some serious traffic.
Plus, rail engineering work is going to add to the chaos, with several train lines closed. This will affect services from stations like Liverpool Street and Paddington.
About four million people in the UK are planning to head abroad for Christmas and New Year, according to travel experts at Abta.
Heathrow is gearing up for its busiest December ever, expecting to surpass last year’s record of 6.7 million passengers.
