No trains, hardly any buses, everyone stranded unless they drive. This is the situation every year in Britain when the transport network closes over the Christmas break. Workers in hospitals, prisons, the police force and fire service must somehow find their way to work without public transport. Families divided by geography are forced to either drive or remain separated. Many low wage workers cannot afford the luxury of a long holiday break and so must find a way to get to work without public transport or suffer the financial consequences. No other European country closes its public transport over the Christmas period. The British authorities claim that if they ran a service it would not make a profit.
