The 21 hasn't coped for the past 2 years on every Bank Holiday. So they continue doing as they are. Completely oblivious to the world around them. And showing absolutely no forward thinking and complete and total disregard for their customers, who lets be honest, if there was competition would happily jump on a rival.
I don't even attempt to use a bus on a Bank Hol, I'd rather pay a premium and take a taxi.
Big'un refuses to contemplate Bank holiday buses, now - mostly because our local service gets hammered by Dalton Park traffic and is often a no show, which is rather crap for an hourly service. It would be less of a concern if Arriva provided any information at all other than the app that the bus you're waiting on simply disappears from, with no reason given or available. Not that their social media staff have any clue when they are at work. Last time I asked where a bus had got to and when could I expect it, I got a reply several hours later saying it had got stuck in heavy traffic. Not helpful.
