"It's Christmas time when the trains all go to sleep, but the maintenance teams get busy repairing the railways. Despite how busy the getaway rush feels, during the Christmas slowdown, there are far fewer travellers, so it's a less disruptive time to carry out major engineering works. During the Christmas period, over £160m of major investment projects will take place across the network."
"In the run-up to Christmas, trains and stations are expected to be particularly busy. Train services on many routes will finish earlier than usual on Christmas Eve, and, as usual, there will be no National Rail services on Christmas Day. On Boxing Day, most train operators will not run any trains, but a small number will run limited services. This is the list of affected services likely to affect Londoners wanting to get about, and non-Londoners wishing to visit."
Major engineering and maintenance works will occur across the rail network during the Christmas period, taking advantage of lower passenger numbers. Over £160m of investment projects will be carried out. Train services will finish earlier on Christmas Eve, there will be no National Rail services on Christmas Day, and most operators will not run trains on Boxing Day, though a few will run limited services. Specific operators running limited Boxing Day services include Chiltern Railways, Southern and Stansted Express. Several London services and stations will be disrupted by engineering works and station closures on specified dates.
