All aboard!
Join the festive fun on Weardale Railway's magical Christmas train. Hosted by our lively team of cheeky Elves. Keep your eyes open; you might even catch Santa and Mrs. Claus hard at work spreading holiday cheer! 🎅🎄🚂
The Santa Express is a truly spectacular magical Christmas adventure on a very special Heritage Railway beginning at Stanhope Station, travelling through Weardale.
A spectacularly unique adventure:
Santa's doing his list, he's checking it twice! He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice? Santa Claus is coming to Town!
When our conductor is ready, its “All Aboard” and your journey begins!
Your Festive adventure begins with a cup of hot chocolate and a cookie, at the station, before boarding the train.
Don’t forget your Christmas hats & jumpers!
Our train journey takes us to a secret location hidden deep in Weardale, where we’ll be joined by Santa Claus!
Plus, on our journey, an opportunity for your children to meet the big man himself & children receive an exclusive Santa Express gift from Santa too!
Mums & Dads, Grandparents & Guardians
Christmas just won’t feel the same without it! - but hurry! Trains run for 22 days through November & December! These are fully ticketed, limited capacity so pre-booking is essential.
