The majority of TOCs will stop running trains earlier than the normal timetable.

As above, early shut-down will be pretty much universal.

Might be some peak time reductions on commuter type routes, as TOCs may be expecting a lot of people to finish work this weekend and not go back until after new year, and some people who do work xmas eve may finish at lunch time.

Might be some long distance changes.

Check, check and check again before you travel, would be my advice!

I'm pretty sure the London TOCs have strengthened the afternoon service on Christmas eve in the past.
Longer and/or additional trains as they know a lot of people leave work early on Christmas eve...

Just spotted an error for last traims from Hastings. Site says last train to london bridge is 05.08. However direct trains depart up until approx 19.00.

Is this a problem because the 05.08 goes to the low level LNDNBDC and the rest go through the high level LNDNBDE?

Good catch!

It's TOC related actually but am fixing that :)

When I was using it earlier, found that the problem also occurred at Tamworth (for services to Glasgow Central and Motherwell), and at Retford (for services to Sheffield)
