Rail passengers face major disruption over Christmas as Network Rail carries out 300 engineering projects.
London Liverpool Street will be closed between Christmas Day and January 2 for work including bridge reconstruction and track maintenance.There will be no Southern or Gatwick Express services to or from London Victoria over the same period.Most trains will be diverted to London Bridge. This is because of a combination of track renewals at Harlesden, north-west London; platform work at Milton Keynes Central; and bridge work at Camden, north London and Wolverton, Milton Keynes.
There will be a reduced service for short-distance trains from London Waterloo between December 27 and New Year’s Day because of bridge strengthening work in Battersea, south London.Network Rail chief executive Andrew Haines said: “Christmas is an important time for the railway as it gives us the opportunity to get a lot of work done to improve the railway when trains aren’t running, and therefore keep disruption for our passengers at a minimum.
