Christmas Day and Boxing Day are two of the hardest days of the year to get around without a car. Here's how to plan.

Why it's so busy

  • Normally no trains run on Christmas Day, and very few on Boxing Day
  • Buses are limited or not running
  • Lots of people visit family and want to enjoy a drink

Book early

Book your Christmas journeys as soon as your plans are fixed. Book both directions, especially the return in the evening, which is when demand peaks.

Tips

  • Visiting several relatives? Tell us all the stops
  • Taking presents or food? Mention it so there's room
  • Big family? Our minibus takes up to 8

Are there trains on Christmas Day?

No. There are normally no national rail services on Christmas Day, and very few on Boxing Day, so taxis are in high demand.
