Elton Elf, Joey Marshmallow, and Chef Custard head the hospitality staff. The others are dance and laughter specialists, so naturally, there is anticipation. All of them are ready for Santa’s grand entrance, assuring memorable experiences on board.
Santa Express schedule and family experience
Chris Mouse interrupts to find out who is on the “nice list.” Meanwhile, Santa and his assistant elf welcome each child and provide each child with a souvenir gift. The parents enjoy the lively party without missing a moment of all the fun.
Families, after a day trip to Pickering Station, explore around the seasonal Christmas Emporium and buy party presents. Seasonal treats in the tearoom tie in with the occasion, and a play area is provided throughout, pre- and post-journey.
The North Yorkshire Moors Railway issued service dates starting from November 29 onwards, and every weekend there after, till December 24. Prices are from £29.50 a person, and are available through direct purchase from the Railway’s official site.
Through its expanded seasonal scheme, the Railway positions itself not only as a cultural destination but also a local tourism motivator. Families are offered an experience of tradition, community, and festive cheer, while the operator gains wider recognition in the seasonal recreational marketplace.
