We all love a long weekend. But trying to get anywhere across London or Middlesex during a May bank holiday is usually a disaster. The trains stop running. The engineering works begin. Suddenly your quick trip turns into a three hour ordeal on a replacement bus.
Here is the thing. You do not have to accept that as your normal routine. You can actually enjoy your time off without spending half of it stranded on a platform.
Why The Trains Always Fail In May
Let’s break it down. Every single May National Rail schedules their biggest track upgrades. Because fewer commuters are heading to the office they use the long weekends to tear up the tracks. This means cancelled routes into central London, closed Tube stations, and heavily delayed services to major airports like Heathrow.
If you are planning a family weekend away or a big night out relying on the public transport schedule is a massive gamble.
Stop Relying On Last Minute Ride Apps
When the trains fail everyone opens the same two ride apps on their phone. What this really means is you are going to get hit with massive surge pricing. You might pay triple the normal rate just to get across town. That is assuming a driver actually accepts your ride and does not cancel five minutes before they are supposed to arrive.
Waiting until the day of travel to figure out your route leaves you completely stuck.
