Vast majority of the rail network - over 95% - will be open for business as usual for passengers looking to travel by train over Christmas and New Year. Most upgrade works planned for when passenger trains aren't running - such as overnight, Christmas Day and Boxing Day - to minimise disruption. But some routes will be affected by the essential works taking place, so passengers should plan ahead. Passengers who must wear a face covering in busy indoor settings unless they are exempt can continue to travel with confidence this Christmas.
