London to Scarborough by rail, Hyper Japan, and Crail Food Festival: Travel agenda

Where to go and what to know

Crail Food Festival takes place on the coast of Fife, 12-14 June

1. Bahamas alert

The Foreign Office has stepped up its warning for visitors to the Bahamas, saying: "The number of break-ins and robbery incidents reported to the High Commission has increased. Don't walk alone away from the main hotels, tourist areas, beaches and downtown Nassau, particularly after dark. Take care if travelling on local buses after dusk on routes away from the main tourist areas."
