Passengers travelling on some of Great Britain's busiest railway lines at Christmas have been warned of significant disruption from 10 days of engineering works. This will cause problems for those relying on London's Paddington station, which will be closed for five days, and Birmingham New Street, the UK's busiest station outside the capital, which will also be shut for five days. The disruption will affect intercity trains to the west of England and Wales until January.
