Rail passengers hoping to travel between London, Yorkshire, northeast England and Scotland over Christmas can now buy tickets for journeys up to early January – and take advantage of faster trains.

Rail passengers in Doncaster are being warned of upcoming East Coast Main Line engineering works which could impact journeys.

Rail passengers are being thanked for their patience as the West Coast Main Line fully reopened today with the completion of multiple journey improving projects carried out since the start of 2026.

The works will take time but will result in a better network, officials insist.
