英国主要铁路网络将在圣诞节期间实施为期10天的重大工程维护，导致包括伦敦帕丁顿站和伯明翰新街站在内的关键枢纽关闭，严重影响前往英格兰西部、威尔士及苏格兰的列车服务 1。此次基础设施升级总投资约为1.52亿英镑，Network Rail集团总监Anit Chandarana指出，选择圣诞节至新年之间这一全年客流最清淡的时段进行作业，旨在完成重大项目以提升铁路系统的可靠性 1。
受工程影响的具体线路调整如下：伦敦帕丁顿车站将关闭至1月4日，大部分大西方铁路（Great Western services）列车改由雷丁始发终到 1。伯明翰新街站将从平安夜起关闭至12月29日，用于更换架空电源供应系统 1。东海岸主线在平安夜部分路段停运，纽瓦克至约克段由巴士替代运行，预计增加行程时间2小时 1。此外，利物浦街站发出的大东部主线（Great Eastern mainline）自圣诞节起关闭10天，诺里奇与伦敦之间将无直达列车；希思罗快线（Heathrow Express）和伊丽莎白线（Elizabeth line）的西区服务也将持续中断至1月31日 1。乘客被呼吁提前查询具体行程安排以应对潜在的交通延误或变更 1。
Major engineering works across Great Britain’s railway network will cause significant disruption for ten days over the Christmas period, with key hubs such as London Paddington and Birmingham New Street facing closures. 1 The initiative represents an investment of approximately £152 million, aimed at upgrading infrastructure to improve reliability during what Network Rail describes as the quietest time of the year. 1
London Paddington station will remain closed until January 4, forcing most Great Western services to start and finish at Reading instead. 1 Meanwhile, Birmingham New Street is scheduled to shut from Christmas Eve through December 29 to facilitate the replacement of its overhead power supply system. 1 On the East Coast Mainline, partial closure begins on Christmas Eve between Newark and York, where bus replacements will be deployed, adding two hours to travel times. 1 Additionally, the Great Eastern mainline departing from Liverpool Street will be out of service for ten days starting from Christmas, meaning no direct trains will operate between Norwich and London. 1
Network Rail group director Anit Chandarana stated that the period between Christmas and New Year is the most suitable window for completing major projects due to low passenger volumes. 1 Travelers are advised to check their itineraries in advance. 1 It has also been confirmed that Westbound services on both Heathrow Express and the Elizabeth line will not resume until after January 31. 1
