There are fears that a “New Year’s Eve-type mass exodus” after the funeral cortege leaves Westminster will cause severe congestion at Tube and mainline stations, a rail industry source told the PA news agency. Transport for London said that most Tube lines will remain open for an additional hour on the night after the funeral, to ensure people can “travel around the capital safely”. “We’ve deployed extra resources from early morning, but we will do so right the way through until after the funeral.” Mr Fellows said some of the worst potential congestion hotspots on motorways are the M25 and roads feeding into London such as the M1, M3, M4, and M11.
