First Manchester confirms Sunday timetable for buses on the Queen's funeral day

Customers are advised that First bus drivers and other support staff will observe any silences that form part of the Queen's funeral ceremony

First Manchester has confirmed that bus services will operate to a Sunday timetable on Monday (September 19), the day of the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Customers are also advised that drivers and other support staff will observe any silences that form part of the ceremony and, where safe to do so, will pull over to the side of the road and stop the bus until the mark of respect is completed.

The National Moment of Reflection to mourn the Queen with a one-minute silence at 8pm on Sunday will also be observed by the operator’s drivers and colleagues.

Full details of Sunday timetables can be found by visiting: https://www.firstbus.co.uk/ and selecting a region.

Bus services will resume the weekday timetable on Tuesday (September 20).
