Steam-hauled trips to meet Father Christmas on weekends and selected days through December. Book well ahead.

The railway's Santa Special trains run on weekends and selected weekdays in the run-up to Christmas, with Father Christmas visiting every child on board, mince pies and mulled wine for grown-ups, and steam engines decked out for the season. Tickets sell out early, so book as soon as they go on sale in the autumn.

Dates shown are the usual pattern for this event and should be confirmed with the organiser before travelling.
