Train operators to run Christmas and Boxing Day trains
date 21 December 1998 source ATOC type Press release
Several train companies will be running trains services on Boxing Day this year; and Gatwick Express and Heathrow Express will be operational on Christmas Day.
An ATOC spokesman comments: "We advise travellers to check with National Rail Enquiries (NRES) on 0345 48 49 50 before travelling by rail. Customers may find it helpful to call NRES at times of low demand which are from 11.30am to 3.30pm on weekdays and in the afternoons on weekends.
"We are a public service and are pleased to see the efforts train operators are making to provide high levels of service over the holiday period."
