Festive fun continues on the Lapland Express

Our Lapland Express Santa trains are now three weeks in. Many hundreds of happy families have enjoyed their visit to see Santa, Mrs Claus and the naughty elves. We’d love to see any of your photos, please feel free to send them in to us – just email info@downrail.co.uk.

Mr & Mrs Claus have certainly been kept on their toes. So have our volunteers, with five Santa trains daily on both Saturday and Sunday.

There’s one more weekend to go, and then only a few sleeps until the big day. How many of you are hoping for a train set from Santa? We certainly are!
