Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
I've checked the London transport journey planner for a connection on 3rd January 2011, which - as I understand - will be a bank holiday. The site told me that the Christmas schedule will be posted in December.
Are the tube or the Heathrow Express running on a Sunday schedule on a bank holiday? Or is Monday, 3rd January, still considered a part of Christmas and so the trains will be running less frequently?
Thank you for any information.
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
Bank holiday schedules are much the same as Sunday schedules, Christine, although one can never be certain; it will vary from route to route. Jan 3rd is indeed a bank holiday next year, as 1st falls on a Saturday.
The New Year bank hol is not the same as 25th, when nothing at all runs bar a few airport bus services.
The Heathrow Express will be running pretty much as usual, I imagine; it's only 25th when it doesn't.
You will be able to find out for definite what's happening this year in December! :-)
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
Thank you, Jane, I'm trying to decide if I should book some specials for the first week in January. If I had to get a taxi from Heathrow, the specials wouldn't make any sense. But if the Heathrow Express is running or maybe even the tube, that's good.
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
Even if the Heathrow Express isn't running (very unlikely imo) there will be a bus replacement service to Victoria.
So book your specials! :-)
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
I'll think about it two more days, but I'm almost sure I'll book them. Thanks again.
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
3rd January is not Christmas.
On this public holiday it is normal for Sunday timetables to apply, therefore 'tube', Heathrow Express etc will be operating. Heathrow Express normally operates every 15 minutes on Sundays.
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
3rd January is not Christmas, that's what I thought, too. But when I looked for the schedule, the London Transport told me the Christmas schedule would be online in December, not the schedule of January, or the one for next year.
Since 6th January is part of the Christmas season, I wasn't sure how to understand that.
It's good to know that both tube and the Heathrow Express will be running on a regular Sunday schedule.
Re: Tube schedule on 3rd January, a normal bank holiday or still part of Christmas?
It's just semantics, Christine. The 6th has long dropped out of the UK public perception of 'Christmas' and has no relevance at all other than to practising Christians.
So the schedules will include the days around 25th and 1st, the public holidays which now form 'the Christmas season' in the UK.
Travel Tips for London
Go to Leicster Square. From...
Go to Leicster Square. From there you can go everywhere. There's loads of clubs and bars around there, all the major sites. Soho, covent garden, china town etc. are all the nicest places in London with loads to do and see there, and all just down the road from the square. I love London, it's about the only place in England where there's a strong pulse beating, and anything you could want to see or do is there. When I grow bored of London, I'll leave England to more interesting places.
see as many tourist...
see as many tourist attractions as you find the energy to do. There are so many wellknown places to go, and even if you are that kind of vagabond that don't bather with famous places and events, you should at least see some of them when in London. I will just list some of those that I have visited: Big Ben and the Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, Madame Tussaud's, London Planetarium, The tower of London, Picadilly Circus, Trafalgar square, St. Paul's cathedral, Harrod's, Hyde Park, London Bridge, Tower Bridge,Soho, Trocadero Circus and so on...Just by spending a couple of hours trailing up and down the biggest streets, you will find at least two or three of these sights.Here you can see a picture of the Parliament.
London stations
As someone who has not grown up in a city, especially not a city as majestic as London, I really enjoy (and appreciate!) train stations.
This station in the photo is Waterloo.
I come through here every day to and fro work. Its large and very very busy, connecting London with South West and West England. I think as we are commuting we forget to actually stop and look around us sometimes to fully appreciate whats on our doorstep.
This station has lovely architecture, statues, a splendid history, and its own story to tell. Its just a shame that so many Londoners dont take the time out to actually realise this.
The inside is beautiful, the outside is super!
Paying for things.........know your PIN
The majority of shops/restaurants etc will accept your Visa/Mastercard card, although not for small purchases (it costs them to process payment). Trying to use a card for less than 10GBP may cause you problems, especially in smaller places.
Make sure your card provider knows you are abroad, and that you know the numerical equivalent of your PIN if it includes letters: PIN keypads here only have numbers.
