Long queues loom for drivers in ‘frantic’ Friday getaway before Christmas weekend
Sky News says Drivers have been warned to expect long queues as millions take to the roads ahead of the Christmas weekend.
The AA has said Friday will be the busiest day on the roads this week with an estimated 16.9 million journeys being made across the UK.
A further 16.6 million are expected to be made on Christmas Eve.
Congestion will be further compounded thanks to a strike by thousands of members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) at Network Rail, causing train services to finish at around 3pm on Saturday.
Those travelling by air have also been warned to prepare for delays as Border Force workers are also set to strike on Friday.
