Heathrow flights cancelled as M25 crash sparks major delays

Transport networks are feeling the pressure of another hectic day as the summer getaway season continues ahead of the busiest weekend on UK roads.

It’s been less than an ideal start for holidaymakers flying from London’s Heathrow Airport, after flights were cancelled and delayed for the third day running.

The Tube has also been hit by disruption, with TfL warning commuters of severe delays on the entire Piccadilly line from central London to Heathrow Airport.

On the M25 around Greater London, drivers have been told to prepare for delays of up to 70 minutes after a crash between Waltham Abbey and J25 (A10).
