Rail bosses have said they will be running trains during two planned 24-hour strikes over the New Year (link below.)
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/6214931.stm

Central Trains services were shut down on Christmas Eve in the first of three strikes by conductors , but the rail firm says it will run about one-third of its services during the next two strikes on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

This , however , is disputed by the RMT (links below.)
