Thousands of passengers set for Christmas travel disruption due to train engineering works
Thousands of railway passengers will face problems in the future Christmas period due to engineering activities.
Most of the most busy railway lines of the UK, including the services between the London Waterloo and Cambridge region, including the services between Leeds and York and the West Coast Outline (WCML), will be affected.
Network Rail says he has invested over £ 130 million around Christmas and New Year.
The government’s company insists that it is the “best time için for major projects by showing a natural decline in suburban and business travel.
Passengers are called by Network Rail to control the online journey planners and recalls that “some lines are very busy, it is necessary to reserve ahead”.
A few parts of WCML will be broken.
Between Christmas and January 5, no train will be changed to replace a track junction between Milton Keynes and Rugby in Hanslope, Buckinghashire.
The replacement of a bridge above the M6 means there will be no service between Preston and Carlisle between New Year and 15 January, dating back to the 1960s.
In addition, there will be no train between Carlisle and Lockerbie between the New Year and January 7 due to signaling work.
There will be no train between Leeds and York between Christmas and 26 January.
Between Christmas and January 5, Cambridge North, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Stansted Airport will not take any train.
London Waterloo, one of the most intense stations of the UK, will be closed to trains between Christmas day and December 28, and will have less time schedule between December 29 and January 4th.
In Scotland, there will be no train between Dalmuir and Balloch/Helensburgh Central or between January 2, with the Christmas eve between Glasgow Queen Street and Criansich.
Network Rail said that 95 percent of Britain’s railways will not be affected by engineering work.
However, as usual, the entire network will close on Christmas Day.
Most operators will not use a train on the boxing day, but a handful will have a very limited time schedule.
Network Rail’s head network operator Helen Hamlin said: “The best time to make big projects that will last longer than one night in the period railway between Christmas and New Year.
Uz We work with train operators to arrange deviations and railway changes for traveling passengers, but in advance it is very important to plan.
“Especially this year, this is the case, because in order to improve the railway, we have great plans that will mean that people should travel home on different ways from the ways of traveling after Christmas.”
Daniel Mann, Director of Industrial Operations at the Industrial Organ, said, ün You can use national railway investigations and travel planners to control updates and our visual corruption maps – short videos designed to help people understand service changes and make conscious travel decisions will be on stations and online.
“Industry works hard to carry out as much service as possible and remind our customers to remember to respect our railway colleagues for this intense time, as they work to provide a safe and reliable service for everyone.”
