Sunday trading laws apply for New Years Eve, which means that apart from any 7-11 Spar-type convienience stores pretty much everywhere will be sticking to either 10am-4pm or 11am-5pm.
As far as New Years Day is concerned, most places will be open, but sticking to Bank Holiday hours. Allowing for staff hangovers and the like, most places will probably stick to Sunday trading hours again - opening at 10am or 11am and possibly going through to 5pm or 6pm, but this is at their descretion and if the staff can be found who are sober enough to be able to work.
Why can't everybody just wait until 2nd January and actually let these poor underpaid shop assistants have a day off and enjoy some time with their families instead of worrying about shop opening hours?

No, New Years Day is a bank holiday, so shops have to follow certain trading rules, lots of shops will be open but these will be for reduced hours.
On New Years Eve, as it is a Sunday, the Sunday trading laws apply.

There will be public transport. On January 1st it will run to a Sunday pattern of service, slightly less frequently than on other days. The large shopping centres will be open throughout. Quite a number of restaurants, although not all, are closed on January 1st because they are so busy and open so late on December 31st
