PEOPLE are being warned to plan ahead if they are due to travel over the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend.
The RAC estimated that 19.5 million leisure trips by road will take place between Wednesday and Sunday, but public transport is also expected to be busier than usual.
Some travel companies have announced they will be running limited services over the bank holiday, meaning it may take longer for people to reach their destination.
