So, are trains running on Bank Holiday Monday? The official answer is: Sort of. The real answer is: Expect the unexpected. Pack snacks. Bring a book. Wear comfortable shoes. And for goodness’ sake, don’t make any plans for the first two hours of the day.
You will be late. You will be confused. But you will have a story to tell. And honestly, isn’t that what a holiday is really about? Surviving a little bit of ridiculousness with your dignity mostly intact? Probably not. But at least you’ll have a good excuse for why you missed the barbecue.
