The big Christmas getaway approaches, along with the busiest travel day of the festive period.
Thousands of people will be making the journey home on Friday, ahead of Christmas Eve’s train strike - which, though it officially starts at 6pm, will see many train services wrap up by lunchtime.
Those flying somewhere for the holiday might also experience delays and disruption as Border Force staff are set to strike at six UK airports from 23 December until the end of the year (with the exception of 27 December).
