This Christmas, travellers heading to and from Paddington station should be aware of
00:05
significant changes to train services due to ongoing works at the new mega station being
00:11
built at Old Oak Common in North West London.
00:15
From Christmas day the 25th December until the 30th December, trains will not run into
00:20
Paddington as crews prepare for a new high speed line, the HS2 and the eventual relocation
00:27
of the entire Great Western Mainline.
00:31
The transformation of Old Oak Common into a state of the art transport hub is well underway
00:36
with 1500 workers on the site daily.
00:40
One of the key developments at the site is a giant box being dug out of the earth to
00:45
accommodate HS2 services, which will eventually link Birmingham to London and beyond.
00:52
Construction is also progressing on a tunnel that will connect HS2 trains to the lines
00:57
terminus at Euston.
00:59
Once complete Old Oak Common will be one of the most connected stations in Europe, serving
01:04
not only the high speed railway but also Great Western Railway, the Elizabeth Line and Heathrow
01:10
Express.
01:11
If you're travelling over the festive period, be sure to check planned closures and service
01:16
changes.
01:18
Between the 23rd December and Sunday 5th January, planned works and temporary closures may affect
01:24
your journey, especially on key routes like those passing through Paddington.
01:30
For those looking to travel on Christmas day itself, your options will be limited.
01:35
Only taxis, private hire services, Santander cycles, electric scooter and rental bikes,
01:41
Coaches and Dileride will be available, but public transport will largely be at a standstill.
01:47
Transport for London has urged passengers to plan their journey carefully over the Christmas
01:51
period as disruptions and changes to service schedules are expected.
