Travel tips

You will still be able to get to where you need to go, but consider the following:

Could you change the time of your journey?. Avoid travelling during peak times wherever possible. Plan ahead, check timetables or apps and leave more time for your journey as services will be busier.

If you work, speak to your employer. about whether there is any flexibility in your hours or if there are any times when you could avoid travelling altogether, such as working from home.

Plan ahead and leave more time for your journey. If you travel, you’ll need more time for your journey to take account of changes and diversions.

Use public transport wherever possible. This is to reduce congestion on key roads and junctions.
