Transport bosses warn mourners of London queues on Monday
Queues are likely at Underground and London railway stations on Monday after the Queen's funeral, transport bosses have said.
This is the day of Queen Elizabeth II's state funeral after her passing at her Scottish estate in Balmoral. Avanti is also putting on extra charter services this weekend to help ease congestion between Manchester and London. Four extra services a day will run on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. "This weekend is going to be very busy, a lot of people will be wanting to come in to pay respects to Her Majesty... the day of the funeral will be one of the busiest, biggest, challenges TfL has ever faced," he said.
Although trains and Tubes have been busy in the past few days, particularly in central London around mourning events, overall passenger usage remains below pre-Covid levels.Anyone who bought Anytime, Off-Peak, or Super Off-Peak train tickets can get full refunds during the mourning period if the tickets were bought before the Queen's death was announced.
