Out of Office is turned on, you’ve got the suitcases packed, and you have definitely double checked that you have packed the presents. You can already smell the turkey and the chestnuts roasting on the fire, and all that’s left is to make the journey, and celebrate with your loved ones.
But none of us want to be caught out in the cold, especially at the most wonderful time of the year, so use the below information to plan ahead, and leave the rushing to Santa’s elves in the workshop on Christmas Eve.
What time do trains stop running on Christmas Eve?
Usually train services run as usual but may end a bit earlier on Christmas Eve. There may be some diversions, early terminations on some services, and some routes may provide a bus replacement service.
In December 2023, Northern trains will be running until around 2100 on Christmas Eve.
