Just to double check - are we going off Bank Holiday timetables today which would be a Sunday service? Or a standard Monday service? Reason I ask is because that's a Sunday service quoted above.

I can only but hope that the timetable information that I obtained was correct in its day basis.

Today we are going as a normal Monday service which was the case in both this relaunched quiz and the original quiz. Has it not always been the case that Bank Holiday days such as Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years day have always used the standard day of the week on which these Bank Holidays fall, as both you and I who participated on both versions of this quiz will be so aware.

I'd agree it should be a standard Monday. After all it's only by coincidence that the "game day" is Monday along with the "real life" day.
