Ongoing rail disruption is expected between 18 December and 2 January.  This will mean that rail services are likely to be less frequent and will start later and finish earlier. In addition, rail industrial action is also planned from 24 December – 29 December and 3 January – 7 January.

There will be no rail services on Thursday 5 January.
