Transport bosses warn network could be overwhelmed as demand for services into capital rises by 56%
About 1 million people are expected to visit the central London area around the royal palaces for the Queen’s funeral, making it one of the busiest days ever for the capital’s transport network.
The Transport for London commissioner, Andy Byford, said there had been “huge numbers of additional passengers” using services since the Queen’s death on 8 September, but demand would “reach a climax” on Monday.
