That match has been moved to the 27th for tv coverage.
Rail work over Xmas is fairly common. It’s a very quiet time with minimal passenger numbers outside of Xmas eve and New Years. Manchester Victoria is closed over Xmas and in the past Kings Cross has been blockaded. Northern and Grand Central don’t run any services on Boxing Day so no National line disruption and perfect time for network rail to get ahead of things.
Look forward to GNE not cancelling any services on the 5th since they have resource to support Metro….
Wistfully stuck in the 90s
