Alex Kerr, general manager, said: “We’re announcing our Christmas timetables so our customers can plan ahead for their last minute shopping, big nights out and family visits.

“The services have been designed to keep people moving in the run up to the big celebrations this season and during the busy time between Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve.
