Engineering work across Thameslink on Saturday, December 18 and Sunday, December 19 mean a reduced service between Bedford and Brighton.
Trains will also finish running earlier than normal on Christmas Eve with last trains leaving central London from around 8pm.
There'll be no service on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.
