The Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort Timetable Data
Today we have published advice on how to prepare data for the BODS and other service to ensure that it is correct for the Coronation of The King and The Queen Consort bank holiday on 8 May 2023.

The data for use in services such as the Department for Transport Bus Open Data Service (BODS), Traveline, journey planners, real time systems and mobile phone apps all need to be updated to reflect the changed operation.
