Live map of bus services in the UK and Ireland on Christmas Day, 25 December 2025, at around 8:40am. Bus services are largely suspended. London and Dublin shut down completely, with only a few local operators and airport coaches running limited services. A dark-themed digital map of Scotland from the bustimes.org website, showing several major towns and cities including Inverness, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, and Wick, as well as Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands. The map uses a high-contrast dark grey and black aesthetic with green patches representing forested or mountainous areas. Two live bus icons are visible: a yellow marker labelled 276 positioned near Wick in the north, and a teal marker labelled E1 located north of Dundee. The interface includes a search bar, zoom controls, and a GPS button in the corners, with the website branding in the...
A dark mode map of the United Kingdom and Ireland from the bustimes.org website, showing real-time bus locations on Christmas Day. The map is mostly empty of activity across England, Wales, and Ireland, reflecting the lack of public transport on the holiday. However, a dense cluster of bus icons is visible across the Central Belt of Scotland, specifically around Glasgow and Edinburgh, where some services are operating. A few isolated buses are also shown near Perth, Dundee, and Aberdeen. The interface includes a search bar at the top right and map navigation tools on the right edge, with th...
A screenshot of the bustimes.org live map showing the United Kingdom and Ireland on a dark, minimalist background. The map features several bus icons with route numbers such as 43, 801, and 812 scattered across Northern England and the Midlands, including areas near Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham. The Irish Sea separates the two landmasses, with major cities like Dublin, Belfast, and Derry ~ Londonderry marked in Ireland, and Newcastle, York, and Nottingham marked in the UK. A search bar and map controls are visible in the top and side margins, and the attribution at the bottom right cre...
A dark-themed digital map of Southern England and South Wales from bustimes.org shows live bus locations represented by various coloured, numbered icons. The icons are clustered heavily around London, Reading, and Bristol/Cardiff, with scattered buses across the Midlands and South Coast. Most bus markers are white, blue, or red, each containing a specific route number such as 802, 172, or RA1. The background map is minimalist, displaying major city names like Birmingham, Oxford, and Portsmouth in faint grey text, while the sea is a solid dark charcoal colour. In the top right, there is a se...
Bus services in Great Britain and Ireland at around 10am on Christmas Day (25 December 2025). A screenshot of the bustimes.org live tracking map showing Northern Scotland, the Orkney Islands, and the Shetland Islands on Christmas Day. The map is largely empty of activity, reflecting the lack of public transport services on the holiday. Only two bus icons, both labelled E7, are visible: one near Inverness and another further east towards Aberdeen. Major towns such as Lerwick, Kirkwall, and Wick are marked on the pale grey and white landmass, which is surrounded by a muted blue sea. The interface includes a search bar, zoom controls, and a note in the top-left corner advising the user...
A screenshot of a digital map from bustimes.org showing Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Northern England on Christmas Day. The map is largely empty of the usual dense bus icons, reflecting the limited or suspended public transport services typical for the holiday. Only a handful of vehicle icons are visible: one near the Isle of Skye, another near Perth, a small cluster operating between Glasgow and Edinburgh, and a single vehicle near Newcastle. The map uses a pale grey and white colour scheme with the "bustimes.org" header in yellow at the top. A notification in the top left cor...
A screenshot of the bustimes.org live map on Christmas Day shows a nearly empty transit map of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Against a pale grey base map, only a handful of active bus icons—mostly numbered in the 800s—are scattered across northern England and the Midlands, with a small cluster of red and blue icons in the London area. The lack of typical activity reflects the widespread suspension of public transport services across the British Isles on the holiday. The interface features a yellow header with a search bar and the website name in the top left corner, while the Irish Sea si...
A screenshot of a live map from bustimes.org showing bus movements across Southern England and South Wales on Christmas Day. The map displays a sparsely populated network compared to a typical day, with small clusters of colourful icons representing active buses primarily around London, Cardiff, and the South Coast.

The background is a pale grey geographical map featuring major cities such as Birmingham, Oxford, an...
Bus services in Great Britain at around 11am on Christmas Day (25 December 2025). A screenshot of a live map from bustimes.org on Christmas Day 2025 showing Scotland and Northern England. Most of the map is empty of vehicle icons, reflecting the widespread cancellation of public transport services across the UK for the holiday. Only a small cluster of bus icons, many labelled with "E" prefixes such as E2, E7, and E8, are visible in specific locations like Edinburgh, the Lothians, and near Inverness. These represent the limited "special" or "essential" services operating today. Major cities like Glasgow, Newcastle, and Belfast show no active ...
A screenshot of a live map from bustimes.org on Christmas Day 2025, showing a vast area of the UK including Scotland, Northern England, and Wales. Because it is Christmas Day, most of the map is empty of public transport, with vast clusters of bus icons only visible in specific areas like Edinburgh, Dundee, and parts of the West Midlands. The rest of the country, from the Lake District down to the Welsh coast, shows almost no active service, reflecting the traditional holiday shutdown of the transport network. Small pockets of activity are highlighted by colourful icons representing the few...

Excerpts from the Great British Railways (GBR) Media Kit on branding.
Courtesy of the Department for Transport. A woman is using a smartphone and earbuds in a transport environment. The image features a large white "GBR" logo next to a double-arrow symbol. The background is framed by diagonal sections of blue and red. The bottom left corner includes the text "Media Kit - Dec 2025".
A slide titled "About Great British Railways" in large white text. The slide has a red background with a diagonal blue section at the bottom right. The main body of the text, also in white, describes the purpose of Great British Railways (GBR), focusing on reforming a fragmented system, building a simpler, more unified railway, and sweeping away decades of frustration. The text concludes by stating that the visual identity of GBR is an important step of unifying how they tell this story.
This slide, titled "The Story", presents a timeline outlining key legislative and operational milestones for Great British Railways (GBR) against a dark blue background. It highlights the passage of The Passenger Railway Services (Public Ownership) Act in November 2024, the transfer of SWR services to public ownership in May 2025 (along with a photo showing interim "GBR coming soon" signage), the introduction of the Railways Bill in November 2025, and a rail fare freeze later that month, leading up to GBR being operational in 2027. A separate section summarizes the curre...
Featuring the iconic double arrow and Rail Alphabet font, uses navy, white, and red to evoke the Union flag, signifying GBR as the new, integrated public body for Britain's rail network. A graphic detailing the Great British Railways (GBR) logo. It shows the primary logo, featuring the red double arrow symbol next to "GBR" in navy blue, and two secondary versions which replace "GBR" with "Great British Railways" (one using two lines of text, one using a single line of text). The accompanying text describes the logo's elements, colours (navy, white, and red from the Union flag), and its in-house design process.
A close-up photograph of a white signpost, typical of a railway station, featuring the Great British Railways logo. The sign displays the red double-arrow symbol next to “Great British Railways” written in navy blue, set against a bright blue sky and green foliage.
The new Union Flag-inspired livery (blue, red, and white) for both inter-city and commuter trains. This angular design signifies the planned move towards GBR becoming the single, modern public body managing the UK's rail network.
A graphic showing two Great British Railways (GBR) train designs: a long distance, inter-city train and a local or regional, commuter train. Both feature the GBR livery in blue, red, and white, inspired by the Union flag.

A detailed in-game render shows two modern high-speed trains in Great British Railways livery standing at a station platform. The trains feature a dark blue, red, and white colour scheme with the double-arrow symbol and “GBR” branding. The scene is set during daylight, with overhead electrification equipment, station signage, and surrounding brick buildings visible in the background. A sign on the platform reads “Grantham,” confirming the location.

The recent power cuts in Spain and Portugal showed how quickly card payments can fail, leaving people reliant on cash. This highlights why government action is essential to ensure cash remains accessible for everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
The EU now recommends including cash in emergency kits to cover essential needs during outages or disruptions.
cashessentials.org/eu-recommends-…

Yet the UK Government’s emergency preparedness guide does not mention cash at all.

The issue also affects people whose bank cards, including those stored on smartphones, have been lost or stolen and subsequently blocked for fraud protection, forcing them to wait for a replacement to arrive by post or to visit their bank to have their cards reactivated.
