Rail passengers in Network Rail’s North West and Central region will benefit from a better, more reliable railway in 2024 thanks to upgrade and maintenance work taking place this Christmas and New Year.  

Network Rail has completed a £5m upgrade of Streatham station providing passengers with step-free access to all of the station’s platforms.

•  More than 96% of the rail network will be open for ‘business as usual’ over the Christmas and New Year period
• While significant investment is being made in projects across the country, the £127m programme is a ‘lighter’ package of work than recent years
• Most journeys will be unaffected by engineering work but some lines are impacted, so passengers should plan ahead and check their journey details

Passengers wishing to travel by rail this Christmas are reminded to check before travelling as extensive Christmas engineering work will help to deliver significant benefits for passengers and continue with exciting new station builds.
