Many thanks to all our passengers and crew members who made this Christmas Lantern Express season so special. We couldn't do it without you!

Also an extra thank you to all who came out and braved the arctic blast on Friday. It was sure a rambler first that presented new challenges but what a way to end the season.
We were thrilled to see everyone out and enjoying the ride- even with a few icy toes!

We can't wait to do it again next year. In the meantime just remember: "With goodwill, you will always find your way."

Merry Christmas! 🚂
