As we all enjoy our Christmas dinners… a team of Network Rail engineers will be working around the clock to upgrade our railways and have produced a Christmas song.

The team has released a rework of the classic Christmas song, ‘Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer’.

‘We are the railway grafters’ was sung by a choir of the Birmingham New Street station staff.

Some of the big railway upgrades taking place are at Manchester, Liverpool, Blackpool, Birmingham, London Bridge and London Paddington.

What did the officials say?

Patrick Power, Birmingham New Street station manager and a member of the Railway Grafters choir, said: “What we lack in choral talent we more than make up for in soul.”

He added: “This is our way of reminding people that Railway Grafters up and down the land are working hard to make the railway bigger and better for you this Christmas.”
