RAC predicts biggest getaway on roads since 2016, and west coast mainline will be partly closed
Drivers and train passengers have been warned they face congestion and disruption over the bank holiday weekend, with motoring organisations forecasting the biggest early May getaway for seven years and a main rail line partly closed.
The RAC said it estimated 17.2m leisure trips would be taken by car in the UK between Friday 29 April and Monday 1 May, the most for the May bank holiday since 2016.
