You might think it’s simple. “Just run the trains, guys!” But no. There’s engineering works everywhere.
Are Underground Trains Running On Christmas Day Shop
Boxing Day is prime time for track repairs. While you’re watching Home Alone 2, workers are replacing rails. It’s the sport of the festive season.
