*Phase 1 (Monday 29 September until Sunday 26 October) *

The aim of this campaign is to raise awareness of planned rail engineering work over the Christmas and New Year bank holiday period, encouraging leisure and business passengers to plan ahead and check if their train journey is affected before they travel.

Phase 1 (soft launch) will run from 29 September until 26 October on owned media before Phase 2 (full launch) is promoted from 27 October until 4 January across all channels including paid media. Phase 2 will feature a slightly different creative with strengthened messaging and a more festive style.

These campaigns are no longer live or being promoted to public and passengers. However, if you would like to use these resources please ask permission from Network Rail’s marketing team: marketing@networkrail.co.uk
