Explained in plain English
How do delays affect commuters?
Major disruptions, such as the all-day service problems on the Elizabeth line to Heathrow, have a significant impact on commuters and travellers. They can cause missed flights, late arrivals for work, and increased stress. Passengers often have to find alternative, longer, or more expensive routes, leading to a ripple effect across other transport networks.
