Do trains and buses run on bank holidays?

Some London buses will be striking over the bank holiday, but across the country, other buses and trains should be running as normal.

Some train lines tend to complete essential work over bank holidays meaning there could be disruptions but there is often plenty of notice given.

Buses will otherwise be running throughout the bank holiday, but services could change or be less frequent – so always check the times before setting off anywhere.

Most bus services run their Sunday service on bank holidays, meaning you can still catch a bus, but they might end earlier or have longer gaps in service.

If you’re one of the Britons needing to travel this bank holiday, most bus services have a timetable you can track online so you aren’t left waiting for a bus that isn’t going to come.
