With the school summer holidays underway, transport networks across the UK are already feeling the strain.
Flights have been cancelled or delayed at London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports, and rail networks across the capital are also in disarray.
The RAC predicts that 2.4 million holidaymakers will travel by car on Tuesday alone.
It comes days after the CrowdStrike global IT outage left millions of computers without power, paralysing hospitals, airlines, GP surgeries and media organisations.
Elsewhere, there are severe delays on parts of the Tube and Overground after a points fault halted all trains between Stratford, Richmond and Clapham Junction.
London Overground remains partially closed, with no services between Chingford and Hackney Downs until at least 4 August.
