Timetables change on Sunday 13 December
Most of the December 2026 timetable will remain the same as the May 2026 timetable. A small number of changes are being introduced to improve reliability, provide more Sunday journey options and make services easier to plan around.
Please check your journey before travelling, as some train times may change by a few minutes.
