Millions of people are on the move at airports, ferry terminals, roads and railways for the Easter break.

The Easter getaway has started, with 2.6 million car journeys expected on the nation's roads today. Good Friday is likely to be the busiest day for travel during the Easter break, with the number of car journeys higher than the two million expected on Easter Monday and the 2.3 million forecast for Saturday and Sunday.

Glasgow predicts more than 90,000 passengers over the four days while Birmingham Airport said it expects a 27.2% increase in departures compared to last year's Easter period. Bristol predicts 30,000 holiday trips on Easter Sunday alone, and Liverpool Airport expects around 60,000 passengers over the four days - around 7% higher than last year.
