The festive period is often a time of extensive travel disruption in London, with rail operators taking the opportunity to undertake repairs and upgrades while the city has fewer commuters. While the major closures of major stations like Waterloo and Liverpool Street are over, there is more planned disruption to watch out for over the coming days. When it comes to travel disruption, users of the Jubilee, Mildmay and DLR will be among those most impacted by planned changes to timetables.

The DLR's new trains have been taken out of service just weeks after the first one started carrying passengers, following reports of problems with one of the trains breaking in wet weather. Transport for London ( TfL) says that although there has been only one isolated incident involving a single train, all three new trains that were in service have been temporarily withdrawn from service.
