Southern Vectis Will Pause Service For Queen's Funeral

Buses will be paused on Monday (September 19) afternoon to allow Southern Vectis staff to watch proceedings

The Isle of Wight Bus company will be pausing their timetable during the Queen's funeral on Monday as well as running a Sunday timetable.

Southern Vectis has announced a change to the usual schedule on Monday as the country comes together for the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Buses on the day will be run to a Sunday timetable.

The local bus drivers will be given the opportunity to watch the proceedings, with a pause in services between 10am and 1pm.

There may be further disruption for a further hour as Southern Vectis moves all vehicles back into their current locations.

Andrew Wickham, Southern Vectis Director, said: 

"With his Majesty King Charles III declaring the day of his mother's funeral - Monday September 19 - a Bank Holiday, we have revised our services.

"We know many of our drivers will want to observe this significant event in the history of our nation, so we are also planning a cessation of services for the duration of the funeral.

"Along with millions of people, both in the UK and across the world, many of my colleagues are feeling a sense of loss.

"The funeral will be an opportunity for people to come together, pay their respects, and reflect on the life of a unique monarch who lived her life in dedication of her subjects."
