The North Yorkshire Moors Railway is offering a set of festive 'Santa Specials' again for 2024: train rides aboard the Santa Express in which passengers will get the chance to meet Father Christmas himself.
The festive train rides will run on November 30 and December 1, 7, 8, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.
The Santa Specials begin at Pickering Station, which will be festively lit for the occasion.
Children can explore the festive signal box; hot chocolate and mince pies will be available from the Christmas tearoom; and the Christmas Emporium, occupied by holiday stalls offering seasonal gifts, will be open for browsing.
Each child will receive a limited-edition toy to remember their trip: a special Edmondson Railway ticket, a nod to the traditional fare system from the 1840s.
Laura Strangeway, CEO at the NYMR, said: "This year, we’ve reinvented our Santa Specials to offer families a truly unforgettable Christmas experience.
"Our goal was to bring the magic of the season to life - not only through the beauty of our surroundings but by creating an immersive, storybook adventure that guests can actively participate in.
"It’s a classic Yorkshire Christmas, with something special for every member of the family to enjoy."
