To update on the wonderful situation, the advice if you want to get out of the country this weekend is becoming clear.
Don’t bother unless you’ve got a ticket already.
Eustostar is at capacity at the moment. If you haven’t got a ticket, don’t bother turning up.
Stena Line and FastLine to/Ireland from Wales are reporting higher than usual loads.
Cross Channel Ferry Companies are reporting very high loads in both directions.
UK Rail Network is getting busier, with core trunk routes either being extended or extra trains being laid on if needed.
In addition in Europe, airports are closing as needed due to the ash cloud, so if you are planning to travel this weekend
- Check before you go with your carrier.
- Check the airport to see if it’s open
- Expect short notice cancellations
- Expect delays
- And be careful!
