Boxing Day trains axed as strike action rumbles on

Britain's railways will remain shut on Boxing Day for a second day running as strike action continues.

Thousands of passengers are expected to be disrupted on Monday December 26 after Network Rail announced that no trains will run. Hundreds of departures usually run on December 26 after the Christmas Day shutdown.

It comes as part of an ongoing walkout by employees who are members of the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT). Passengers were warned about the strike action a week ago, and roads are expected to be busy due to knock-on impact of the strike.
