Easter Weekend Services

Reading Time: 2 minutes

With so many bus operators increasing their services over the Easter period, it is easy to forget that this weekend is the long Easter Bank Holiday weekend. Most of us … well – most of you – will be gorging on chocolate eggs, characters, cakes. Some of us will be tucking in to various joints of lamb, or similarly dietary required treats. A few will still need to travel around by bus to COVID vaccinations, work and more.

Bluestar 6 (Sunday service)

Easter Saturday

All operators are running their existing Saturday services.

Easter Sunday

Some operators are running a new timetable from today. So please make sure you are looking at the correct timetable for the operator you are using.

All operators are running their Sunday service,
- with the exception of Xelabus who are running No Service despite continuing to advertise Sunday services on their website. This is because they are not running any Sunday services at present.
  - Yes they do know, and they maintain it is because all their customers can read their news post telling you that.

I will continue to mention it. This is because it shows the lack of respect to perspective customers who might rely on their published timetable to plan a journey…. only to stand there for an hour for a bus that is not running.

Easter Monday

Please remember that most operators revised services in some way on Easter Sunday. You should ensure that you check their website for new timetables if you are travelling.
