Things might look and feel a little different this year, but one tradition which is still going strong despite coronavirus is the Swindon & Cricklade Railway’s festive offering.
Despite having to cancel the usual Santa Specials the railway will still be offering The Festive Express trip to see Santa and his helpers and promises to be a wonderful experience for people of all ages.
The team have been busy making sure that current coronavirus rules and regulations are complied with so that everyone, Santa included, can have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Your trip begins at Blunsdon Station towards Taw Valley before heading Northwards to find the home of Santa and is guided by our resident steam locomotive on its journey.
Santa and his helpers will be putting on a special display outside their Winter Workshop, somewhere around Hayes Knoll, where if you are lucky enough they may appear to wish all the Mums, Dads and Children a Merry Christmas!
The Festive Express will be going on December 12th, 13th, 19th and 20th with tickets available online only.
Please Note:
- To keep our passengers safe, each family group will be seated in separate compartments. On some trains a separate wheelchair space will be available.
- All tickets are valid only for the specific date and time on the day selected.
- Ticket pricing is based on the number of people age 2 years or over, occupying a Compartment or Wheelchair Space, not by Adult/Child or Concession type.
- Children UNDER 2 years of age travel free. (For example: 4 adults and 2 children under 2 years would pay for a compartment of 4).
- However, please be aware that under current Government guidelines, your group must be made up of only the people you live with or have formed a support bubble with.
- If your group is a single household or support bubble of more than 6 people, the maximum number we can accommodate in a compartment would be 6 people age 2 or over and two children under 2. (8 people in total).
