Queens Funeral 19/9
Considering its now been announced that the Queens Funeral on 19/9 will be a Bank Holiday does this actually mean Buses in various places in Northwest will be running a normal Bank Holiday service or is this yet to be decided?

I reckon it is too short notice to change route/timetable registrations for the day. So they may need to aim to provide normal services. There may however be more cancellations with more absences than usual if more staff so want to watch her funeral.

In London they have the obvious issue of road closures preventing buses running, even if they try to run a normal service.

Elsewhere the issue may be whether all employers give employees the day off. I think the government would like (but haven't mandated) a full shutdown but whether it will actually be like Christmas Day is another question.

You shouldn't need to re-register as it would come under the registered 'Sundays and Bank Holidays' timetable.

And even if someone did a different timetable to what was booked, given the lack of enforcement from the Traffic Commissioner, they would get away with i anyway.

Slightly off topic will all Arriva buses be displaying their tribute message on the blinds by then? I'm amazed how quickly Stagecoach have got it sorted but only a few buses from Bootle seemed to be carrying it yesterday.

I must admit I have not seen a single arriva bus here in wirral carrying a tribute message to our late beloved Queen.

Rock Ferry depot were very quick to get a message up on their destinations and had a tribute showing on their vehicles by the next day

There were a few arriva buses with “ in loving memory Queen Elizabeth11 1926 - 2022” around Liverpool today, but the Stagecoach ones look better (with a royal crown as well) and the majority of those I saw had it
