We will be running our usual timetabled services during the upcoming Bank Holiday. 

Ticketing for the Bank Holiday

Anytime, Off-Peak and Super Off-Peak ticket holders will be able to get fee-free refunds on tickets which have been purchased on and before 8 September. The ‘up to £10’ admin fee will be waived.

Passengers who have bought an Anytime ticket in advance for the day of Her Majesty the Queen’s funeral (Monday 19th September) can get a fee free refund if they choose not to travel, or rebook to a cheaper fare for the Monday as peak fares will no longer apply.

Monday 19 September is a Bank Holiday, which means there will be no time restrictions on the use of Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak tickets. On all other weekdays during the mourning period, normal restrictions will apply.

These policies apply up to and including Monday 19 September 2022 and  Advance tickets will be 'refundable' in line with the existing 'Book with confidence scheme.
