## Rare Boxing Day Service on Chiltern Railways
Chiltern Railways will break from tradition this year by operating a Boxing Day train service between London and Oxford. This move offers travelers an unusual opportunity to use the rail network on a day when most train lines across the UK remain closed.
### A Special Holiday Connection
The company aims to make travel easier for those returning home after Christmas or heading out for post-holiday sales and events. This service highlights Chiltern’s effort to meet public demand during one of the year’s quietest travel days.
> “We’re pleased to provide customers with a rare opportunity to travel by train on Boxing Day,” said a Chiltern Railways spokesperson.
The decision positions Chiltern Railways among the few operators offering services on December 26, giving passengers a welcome alternative to road travel and congestion.
