Extra Buses Deployed for Multi-Location UK Summer Festivals, Large Public Events

Several transport adjustments are underway across the UK to accommodate large public events this week. On the Isle of Man, extra buses will run on July 7 for Tynwald Day celebrations, with free parking and road closures in St Johns to support festivities including the SPARK family festival and Port St Mary's National Day. In Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, the Orange Walk parade on July 5 will cause road closures affecting the Stagecoach X74 bus service, which will bypass Hamilton Bus Station during the event and use alternate stops instead. Meanwhile, Blackpool Transport is operating additional buses and dedicated services from July 3 to 6 for the Lytham Festival, featuring headliners such as Stevie Wonder and Justin Timberlake, to ease travel for thousands of attendees. The festival services include new return ticket options and park and ride facilities, ensuring convenient and affordable transport from Blackpool and surrounding areas. These measures reflect coordinated efforts between transport providers and event organizers to manage increased passenger demand and road disruptions.
