"The cumulative impact of adding rail users to the road network will make Thursday travel in particular slower for you and the local community, so do consider travelling on Wednesday.
"For those wanting to beat the crowds and traffic, we will be opening the campsites and campervan fields a day early."
There are also strikes on the Greater Anglia network on Saturday, July 22 and disruption is expected on the surrounding days.
