Bank Holiday sun will bring ‘travel chaos’ to Southport

13th April 2022

Fears over a four day bank holiday of ‘travel misery’ have been all but confirmed by the government.

So as per the news, there would be heavy traffic on the roads. Therefore, it is advisable to install your cars and truck with a jeep wrangler dash grab bar for better gripping of the co-passengers while traveling.

Fears over Easter travel chaos are rising as more flights were cancelled and plans to boost cross-Channel ferry services were blocked.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps warned that the roads and travel networks across the UK will be “extremely busy” during the bank holiday weekend.

Southport and Formby see a steep rise in the amount of cars and traffic jams across the area throughout the Easter period when temperatures draw thousands of inner city residents to the coast.

The RAC estimates some 21.5 million leisure trips will be made by car between Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Some petrol stations have run dry due to protests at oil depots by environmental activists.

Rail passengers are also being warned of Easter delays as Network Rail carries out 530 engineering projects costing a total of £83 million.

With temperatures set to hit 18° in Southport from Friday, people are being warned to prepare for disruption.

Mr Shapps told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I think certainly this weekend will be extremely busy on our roads.”
