Rail passengers face disruption over Christmas
Large parts of the UK rail network will close over the Christmas period, causing delays and diversions for business and customer travellers.
Some London train and tube lines, such as the Jubilee line, will be shut for eleven days as planned improvement works are carried out.
"The work has to be done but there is never a good time to close the railways," commented a spokesman for Virgin Trains.
Network Rail is under pressure to avoid a repeat of the problems of last year, when engineering works in the Midlands and London overran for up to five days.
The rail operator received a record £14m fine for the disruption, which affected around 20,000 people.
