Sadly with no other buses available here and with it being Sunday and having just missed the back working by a matter of minutes, we are forced with an almost two hour wait for the 1847 Arriva Wales service 4 to Valley (Railway Station), arriving there at 1919 on Sunday.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
There are a few dates each year (1st Jan and 25/26th Dec) where typically public transport options are not present. Players should use the timetables for a normal service day upon which these special dates occur.
Today, being a Bank Holiday Monday, and the quiz day of the week also being a Monday when Bank Holiday services can differ from normal services, does the abovementioned recommendation about the use of normal Monday services apply?

I've always gone with whatever the service provisions would be from the operator specified. Generally, a Sunday services on the buses and mid-week on the trains, but on the trains if there is major engineering works I'll skip forward.
