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.
So, a line like the Piccadilly might be part-closed. The District line? Good luck. It might be buses to Wimbledon. Buses. On the holiday. It’s like a cruel joke.
The Most Important Question: Can You Get to the Sales?
Ah, the Boxing Day sales. The real reason people panic. You need to get to Oxford Circus for a toaster that’s 20% off.
Yes, the Tube will take you there. But here’s a pro-tip: Don’t. The carriages will be packed with aggressive shoppers holding bags from Zara. It’s a human Tetris game.
If you must go, catch an early train. Like, 7.15 a.m. early. You’ll share a carriage with one confused tourist and a pigeon. It’s serene.
