Santa steam train returning to Manchester this Christmas - and tickets are already on sale
There may still be more than four months still to go until Christmas but we’ll be soon be stuffed up with mince pies and rolling into the new year before we know it.
Run by East Lancashire Railway , the ‘Santa Specials’ rides allow people to board a steam train from Bury Bolton Street Station and travel through the enchanted Irwell Valley as part of a magical 80-minute journey where you’ll also get to meet the big man himself .There will be a traditional brass band on board as grown-ups indulge in a cheeky mince pie and festive tipple. Younger guests will get to enjoy some chocolate treats, a drink and an activity pack.
Speaking about the experience, ELR said: “Begin the adventure at Bury Bolton Street Station where you will journey through a gorgeously decorated winter wonderland. Say hello to Mrs Claus and the talking Christmas Tree, and maybe even stop for a quick singalong with our carol singing choir of polar bears, before boarding your train.
“Whilst travelling, Santa himself will visit your carriage with a gift for every little one, and there will be plenty of time to have a chat with him and take a Santa selfie or two.”
