Avanti has confirmed its Christmas Eve timetable, including the first and last trains between major cities.
It comes as the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers union (RMT) will press on with industrial action from 6pm on December 24 until 5.59am on December 27. Customers have been advised to only travel if absolutely necessary on those days.
Meanwhile hundreds of members of the Transport Salaried Staffs Association (TSSA) at CrossCountry, Great Western Railway and West Midlands Trains will walk out between December 26 and 29, it was confirmed on Wednesday (December 21).
