UK's Busiest Christmas Travel Ever: Gridlock, Delays, and Warnings
Update: 2025-12-19
Description
Frantic Friday expected as UK faces record-breaking travel chaos; millions of cars on roads, airports busy, train delays due to driver shortages and infrastructure issues. Peak travel times between 3 PM and 7 PM, with gridlock anticipated on M25, M60, and key interchanges. M27 closure for major works affects journeys between Southampton and Portsmouth. Most drivers plan local trips, congestion concentrated around retail hotspots and motorway interchanges. TomTom warns of severe traffic tomorrow, Saturday. RAC forecasts highest leisure car trips since 2013. National Highways lifts 90% of roadworks to ease congestion, but significant rail engineering work causes disruptions after Christmas Day.
