Travellers warned of delays in British airports

COMMUTERS and holidaymakers have been warned to expect further delays to journeys as a result of increased security.

London’s Heathrow Airport, Europe’s busiest, yesterday urged travellers to arrive on public transport after it shut traffic lanes closest to terminal buildings, and police searched cars following three attempted British terrorist bombings.

A Scotland Yard spokesman has said more officers would be on patrol at mainline stations and on the streets to act as a “highly visible reassurance”.
