ROADS & TRAINS HIT BY FLOODING

- NADEEM BADSHAH

THE UK is set for festive flood chaos this weekend when millions of cars are expected to hit the roads.

Dozens of flood warnings were in place yesterday, along with 167 flood alerts across England.

The Met Office said the downpours could make conditions worse in areas already at risk of flooding.

It comes as the AA predicted that 24.4 million cars hit the UK roads yesterday as schools closed for the holidays.
