It is claseed as a bank holiday where I work, but I am aware that a lot more people work on Godd Friday compared to other Bank Holidays.
It's just as confusing with buses. Sme companies treat it a s normal day, soem as a Saturday and others as a Sunday. Some operators in the past seemed to have different timetables for different routes, like running a Saturday service on one and a Friday service on another!
You'll find that 1971 act to be rather out of date.
Is Good Friday classed as a Bank Holiday if you have a ranger or rover ticket which is restricted to after 0915 on Monday - Friday?
Do different TOC's treat it differently, or is there a national agreement?
I'd email the TOC who's station you are planning to buy said Rover at (and/or the TOC who prices it/the TOC who's train you plan on using first thing on Good Friday) and get their written answer, in order to cover yourself.
Really LOL! Perhaps you could link to the statutory instrument or act which repeals it?
(of the 1871 act)In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, both Christmas Day and Good Friday were traditional days of rest and Christian worship (as were Sundays) and did not need to be included in the Act.
Bank holidays designated since the 1971 Act are appointed each year by Royal
Proclamation.
