CHRISTMAS shoppers could face delays of up to 40 minutes on their journeys into central London this weekend (December 19/20).

Transport for London (TfL) confirmed there will be no services on the Central Line between Leytonstone and Hainault via Newbury Park due to track replacement works.

Passengers are advised to use alternative routes or a rail replacement bus service that will be operating in both directions.
