Officials are discussing the issue of ticket availability over the Christmas period with industry together with other seasonal preparedness issues. The department remains engaged with the industry and continues to work closely with rail operators to provide information and ensure the railway is prepared to meet passengers’ needs.

We urge passengers to plan their journeys carefully and, where possible, book their tickets ahead, off-peak tickets will be available on the 26th and 27th of December. We will publish a comprehensive plan for those planning to travel between 23 and 27 December. Sir Peter Hendy is undertaking a rigorous assessment of transport operators, to investigate what more can be done for passengers.
