Yes, trains do run on Bank Holidays. But—and there’s always a but, isn't there?—they don’t always run on a normal schedule.
Think of it like your local coffee shop. They’re open, but maybe with shorter hours and a skeleton crew. The trains are basically doing the same thing.
The “Sunday Service” Trap
Most rail companies run a Sunday service on Bank Holidays. You’d think that means quiet and peaceful, right? Wrong.
A Sunday service on a Monday means way fewer trains. And because everyone else had your same “let’s go somewhere” idea, those fewer trains get packed like a clown car.
It’s a beautiful paradox. Fewer trains, more people. You’ll be clinging to a luggage rack, wondering why you didn’t just stay home and watch telly.
