UK’s busiest train station will be closed over Christmas | UK News [Video]

The UK’s busiest railway station is set to be closed for eight days over the Christmas period causing travel misery for thousands of people.

Network Rail has confirmed that London Liverpool Street station will be closed from Christmas Day until January 2 for works on the station.

It means delays and cancellations for people looking to visit loved ones or return home following the festive celebrations.

The station closure means Greater Anglia trains – including the Stansted Express – will be diverted via Stratford, which will be used as the train company’s London terminus.

People will be able to change onto the Central line or Jubilee line at Stratford to reach central London.

London Overground services in the area will start and terminate at London Fields instead – including ones from Chingford that don’t usually stop at London Fields.

There are likely to be less Overground services as well – two per hour to Chingford and one per hour to Enfield …
