Heritage Railways will be closed again during the second lockdown, currently scheduled to run from 5th November to 2nd December. Some railways were already closed for the remainder of the year anyway (including some who had decided not to reopen following the first lockdown) and for others it is already a quieter period. However, it has impacted some railways including late season galas (including the GCR) and the beginning of Santa Specials and other seasonal trains such as the 'Train of Light' services at many railways. Of those affected, they are planning to reopen from Saturday 5th December, unless the month-long lockdown is extended at either a national or regional level.
