Be sure to plan ahead and allow more time for travel during major works this autumn, especially if you’re travelling over the school holiday period.

To avoid delays: 

  • plan your journey before you travel using Journey planner 
  • allow extra travel time 
  • consider alternatives if you can, and travel outside of peak times where possible.
