Plan your journey

You can't stop bad weather, but if you have to make a journey in difficult conditions then it pays to be prepared.

If you're taking public transport then check out Traveline - tel 0871 200 22 33 - to see if there are any delays or disruptions to services. But if you are planning on using your own transport:

  • consider public transport as an alternative
  • check the forecast and road conditions
  • think about alternative routes
  • tell someone where you're going and what time you expect to be there or back
  • allow extra time for your journey
  • fully charge your mobile phone
  • make sure your vehicle's ready for a journey in bad weather
  • in winter, think about getting winter tyres.
