Having had a brief reprieve, the British public are about to be treated to another round of train strikes, affecting six days of rail services.
The RMT has called a series of coordinated strikes on Saturday 5, Monday 7 and Wednesday 9 November, with the days after each walkout (6, 8, 10 November) also impacted. Will the dispute be resolved before the end of 2022?
Meanwhile, Christmas is creeping up, with many travellers keen to secure their long-haul plans over the festive period. So when’s best to book, and how can you get a good deal?
And the ski season is also fast approaching – but with the cost of living crisis threatening to bite, will snowsports holidays get the boot as Brits contemplate saving their cash for a summer break in 2023?
