Bank holiday delays could be twice the norm in M25 chaos

The RAC said journeys on some popular routes could take twice as long as normal as the bank holiday weekend coincides with the start of a two-week holiday for many schools, leading to a surge in traffic.

Rail travel will also be disrupted as Network Rail carries out engineering work, with the southern section of the West Coast Main Line closed between Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Tourist board Visit England said about 11 million people in the UK are planning an overnight Easter trip, generating an estimated £3.2 billion boost to the economy.
