What a great idea and very clever listening to the fellow who designed the lights it was quite complicated to do so well done them for brightening Christmas for many people especially children.

What a lovely idea. :-D

Years ago, we took our children on the North Yorkshire Santa steam train but this Hampshire one is really something special.

Pleased to say the coca cola lorry hadn’t been to the nearby town for several years.

I would loved to have been in the queue to pass under the railway at Alton when that train suddenly appeared.

I agree about the Coca Cola lorry, Sheila!

You don't have to be on the train to love it, either. :-D

I loved it (and I'm a bit 'bah humbuggy')

Knocks the 'Coca Cola' lorry into a cocked hat!
