Extra late-night trains will run from the capital from Wednesday to help people pay their respects to the Queen, as Transport for London predicted the late monarch’s funeral would be a bigger logistical challenge for public transport than the 2012 Olympics.
TfL has set up a dedicated command centre and enlisted a large number of volunteers from its ranks as it anticipates handling more than 1 million people travelling to attend the lying in state of the Queen in Westminster Hall and her funeral.
