I thought it might be interesting to document that a few bus services across the country are starting to revise their timetables to cater for a slightly increased demand. Apparently, according to the Government and sources within, the lockdown is being gradually eased with a view that things will return back to normal from mid July. However, please note I'm not encouraging anyone to travel, particularly not anyone displaying any symptoms of Covid-19.
Let me know if you find any more examples!

1. I saw Transdev announce via Twitter and also their website that they are increasing the capacity of several services. There have been some significant increases in some regions. For example, the "Shuttle" between Keighley and Bradford has been improved dramatically from every hour (under the current emergency timetables) to every 15 mins from next Sunday.

2. Some Go-Ahead ops (but not all) are also increasing from the 1st June. The following GoAhead ops I found increasing services are: GNE, EYMS, Carousel, Brighton&Hove, Metrobus, Bluestar, Salisbury Reds, Swindon.
3. National Express (WM only - nothing for Dundee yet) have already increased most of their services.
4. NCT to operate more services from 31st May. No changes to Trent services.
