London Overground trains will not call at stations such as Gospel Oak
London Overground passengers can expect disruption to journeys over the festive period due to track replacement work.
From 27 December until 4 January, Mildmay line trains will not run between Camden Road and Richmond/Shepherd’s Bush but a special train service will run between Willesden Junction and Stratford via Queen’s Park.
On Boxing Day there is a shuttle service only between Shepherd’s Bush and Clapham Junction.
Simon Milburn, from Network Rail Anglia, apologised for the disruption, adding: “But this is a big job that will make a real positive impact for passengers in the long-term.”

These points will be replaced with the timber sleepers replaced by concrete ones
Engineers will be replacing 10 sets of points, which are the movable sections of track that allow trains to switch from one line to another.
The points are currently in poor condition and are held in place by deteriorating timber sleepers, Network Rail says.
There will be further disruption on the weekends of 10-11 January, 31 January to 1 February and 14-15 February to complete the installation after the new track has settled.
Railway replacement buses will run throughout the engineering work.
Mr Milburn added: “The busy Mildmay line is shared with regular heavy freight trains, which means there’s more stress and strain on the track than on other parts of the network.
“We are installing new track that is built to last for decades to come.”

Samsung Electronics today announced that it will boldly break away from the conventional exhibition framework and present a new exhibition paradigm with The First Look at CES 2026, the world’s largest consumer electronics show, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on Jan. 6–9.
For The First Look, the company is shifting from operating a public booth within the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) to establishing a standalone exhibition hall at The Wynn Las Vegas. There, Samsung will curate an experience that adopts techniques used in art galleries and museums to unveil its new products and technologies.
To this end, the company has built its exhibition space, the Samsung Exhibition Zone, on an industry-leading scale, enabling all activities — product exhibitions, presentations, events, technology forums and consultations with key clients and partners — to be conducted organically in a single integrated location. The Exhibition Zone reflects Samsung’s strong commitment to transforming the exhibition paradigm beyond a simple change of venue, toward an approach centered around the customer experience.
Beyond Simple Lineups: Experiencing the Essence of AI in a Well-Curated Space
At CES 2026, Samsung will present its unified AI approach for its Device eXperience (DX) Division and articulate the company’s overall business direction. It is because of this ambitious vision that the company has chosen to establish an industry-leading, large-scale premium standalone exhibition space at The Wynn. There, Samsung will have no limitations when showcasing its industry-leading innovations and will be able to fully convey its overall AI strategy and vision — and the real-life value it can bring to consumers.
The First Look event has been designed to demonstrate how Samsung’s technology transforms lives, moving beyond only showcasing new product features. To realize a fully immersive environment, the exhibition will provide minimized congestion and enhanced programming for a deeper, more meaningful visitor experience.
A Grand Showcase of Samsung AI at the Industry’s Largest Space
Through carefully curated storytelling, Samsung’s Exhibition Zone has been designed to allow visitors to intuitively engage with Samsung’s AI innovation, current key technologies and future direction. Under the theme of “Your Companion to AI Living,” the exhibition showcases how Samsung has extensively applied AI technologies not only across all its product categories — including mobile, home appliances and displays — but also the functions and services that connect them. Visitors will be able to experience these differentiated AI capabilities, which offer seamless, always-on connectivity anytime and anywhere. This hyper-connected ecosystem, where software and AI work together to overcome the normal limits of hardware, is something that only Samsung can deliver.
New Tech Forums Spotlight Recent Industry Trends and Technologies
At CES 2026, Samsung will also host a series of Tech Forum panel discussions dedicated to exploring the latest industry trends and future technologies. The panels will be held over two days on Jan. 5–6 (local time), and will consist of four sessions centered on AI, home appliances, services and design.
Each session will feature both Samsung experts and participants from partner companies, academia, media and the analyst community, who will engage in in-depth discussions on industry trends — as well as new technologies and the future of the industry.
