locomotive
No. 7822, Foxcote Manor, ready for the first departure.
Tickets for the popular Santa Special at Llangollen Railway in the
run-up to Christmas are selling well.
Many of the trains are already completely sold out.
A total of 44 trains are scheduled to run through the Dee valley, starting
today, Satureday, December 1, and going through to Christmas Eve.
Over 7,600 seats have been on offer, but the unsold places are currently
clustered around the early trains this weekend and on the mid-week trains for
Thursday/Friday, December 20/21.
The weekends of December 8/9 and December 15/16 have proved particularly
popular with families keen to experience the annual meeting with Santa on the
steam train at Llangollen.
A railway spokesperson said that anyone wishing to book now will need to
have a range of options for times and dates if they are to be accommodated for
a pre-Christmas ride on the train.
