By 3FM Published 5 June 2026

If you're planning to catch the Isle of Man TT races on Friday, June 5th, you'll need to check your bus journey carefully. With the Island observing a bank holiday and three thrilling races on the schedule, Bus Vannin has issued a reminder that timetables will vary significantly across different routes.

Know Your Route Before You Travel

Bus services across the Isle of Man won't be running their usual schedules today. Northern routes serving the TT Mountain Course will operate an enhanced service as detailed in the official TT booklet, making them your best bet for getting to the action. However, southern routes will follow the Saturday timetable, while all other bus services around the Island will run on Sunday schedules.

This patchwork of timetables means it's essential to check your specific route before heading out. Whether you're travelling to watch the races or exploring other parts of the Island, a quick look at the updated schedules could save you from a lengthy wait at the bus stop.

Travel Tips for TT Day

  • Check the TT booklet for enhanced northern service details
  • Southern routes follow Saturday timetables
  • All other services operate on Sunday schedules
  • Allow extra time for your journey due to race-related road closures
  • Note: The Mountain Road is currently closed due to an accident

With three races planned for the day and the Island buzzing with TT excitement, planning ahead will help you make the most of your visit. Safe travels, and enjoy the racing!
