Over one million people are expected to head to London on Monday for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II.
Queues are likely at London Underground and train stations on the day of the Queen's funeral, rail bosses have said.
"To help us provide the best possible experience and avoid lengthy queues at stations we're asking people not to rush home after the funeral and the processions, but to take their time and experience London on this memorable day," he said. He told the PA news agency: "We're ready for probably one of the busiest days Transport for London has ever faced...we're preparing for potentially a million people just within the footprint of the royal palaces and Hyde Park."
Some stations will also have stationary "welfare trains" so people have somewhere to shelter at all hours. Many shops, restaurants and toilets will remain open in train stations as well.
