* Stansted Express
Boxing Day, Sunday 27th December, Bank Holiday Monday 28th December -
services will only run between Tottenham Hale and Stansted Airport.

Full marks to them for spelling out the various days. 26-28th again this
year, presumably?

This year's NR Christmas/New Year timetable amendments are now up at

Thanks Martin - has that just gone up, or did I do a really inept job of
looking for it yesterday?

I see Southeastern seems to have completely given up, which is rather a
shame - I dunno if it's just that the 26th being a Sunday made things too
difficult staffing wise, or patronage wasn't high enough in previous years,
or that it was all just too much bother.

Southern is once again running a limited service on Boxing Day (the 26th),
but this is affected by engineering works twixt Balham and Victoria meaning
that the South London 'Metro' services will terminate at Balham with a
replacement bus provided to Victoria (or of course there's the tube from
Balham... if it runs!). The Brighton trains will however run into Victoria.
