Londoners face Christmas travel headache as Paddington closes, Moorgate experiences disruption and M1 shuts down
Engineering works on railways across the country have left passengers facing disruption, with London one of the most badly affected areas.
There are no trains to and from Paddington until next Thursday to make way for Crossrail work, while severe disruption is expected between Finsbury Park and Moorgate until lunchtime at the earliest due to an electricity fault.
A number of Southern Rail services are also no running on Christmas Eve due to ongoing industrial action from ASLEF and RMT union members.
And for some Londoners looking to flee the capital for Christmas, getting in the car may not be a quicker option with closures on the M1 which is currently experiencing "severe" traffic both in and out of London.
