London’s bus services will be completely halted on Christmas Day, affecting holiday travel plans for many.
London: So, here’s the scoop. Buses in London are taking a break on Christmas Day. Yep, you heard that right—no buses at all!
This change is part of Transport for London’s holiday schedule. They run a massive bus network, with over 9,000 buses on 700 routes. Pretty impressive, right?
Usually, you can hop on a bus for just £1.75 and make unlimited journeys within an hour. But on Christmas, it’s a no-go.
They’re also working hard to make the buses more accessible and eco-friendly. You’ll find wheelchair-accessible rides and more electric buses popping up, aiming for a zero-emission fleet by 2034.
Now, if you’re wondering about the schedule around Christmas, here’s the lowdown. From December 23 to December 30, there are some changes.
On December 23, it’s a normal Monday service. Christmas Eve has a Saturday timetable, but no night buses. Then, boom—Christmas Day hits, and it’s all quiet.
Boxing Day will see Sunday timetables, and then it’s back to normal for the rest of the week. Just make sure to plan ahead, especially for Christmas Day!
