Title: Northern reveals first Boxing Day services Post by: grahame on December 14, 2019, 05:58:39 From Northern Railway's media feed (https://media.northernrailway.co.uk/news/northern-reveals-first-boxing-day-services)
Quote Festive travellers have been given a boost by the news that Northern is to operate services on three routes on Boxing Day. Services, with special Christmas timetables, will operate on two routes in Yorkshire and one in Greater Manchester to give Yuletide customers more flexibility. In a first for the train operator, trains will run on Boxing Day between Skipton and Bradford, Ilkley and Bradford, and Bolton and Salford Central. Paul Barnfield, Service Delivery Director at Northern, said: “This is the first time for many years trains will operate on Boxing Day and, though services are only running on three routes, it’s a real step forward for our customers at Christmas time.

TfL rail out of Paddington next year?

TfL rail out of Paddington next year? Google search tells me ... Quote Chiltern Railways, Merseyrail, Scotrail, Southern and Stansted Express have all confirmed that they will run trains on Boxing Day, although most will serve only a few stations.
