Santa Special train returns this Christmas at East Lancashire Railway - and tickets are selling fast
East Lancashire Railway’s Santa Specials are returning this festive season, offering families a magical ride through Irwell Valley - with Father Christmas himself even making an appearance. Tickets for the Santa Special trains have been selling fast though with several dates in December already sold out.
Visitors will be able to explore an extended winter wonderland at Bury Bolton Street Station, where they will meet elves and new characters including the magical talking Christmas trees, Mrs Claus and the railway’s Ice Princess. Then the festive fun continues as you hop onboard one of the railway’s unique heritage steam trains.
Passengers will be taken on an 80 minute round trip from Bury to Rawtenstall Station. Santa himself will be handing out gifts while a brass band will play traditional Christmas favourites - singing along is optional, but it is encouraged.
