Services will not run on Christmas Day or Boxing Day and a normal service will resume on Tuesday 27 December, except for a few very early morning services.

New Year’s Eve will again see services winding down from 18.00, with very few trains running after 21.00 and services will start a little later on New Year’s Day*.
