Santa gives out Christmas cheer on Abbey Line and Marston Vale lines

Date: 05 Dec 2007

Santa Claus will be on board two London Midland 'Santa Specials', in the run up to Christmas, when Santa will be on board giving out presents to young passengers.

On Saturday, December 15, Santa will be on the Marston Vale line from Bletchley, travelling back and forth from 0959 from 1331. The following Saturday, December 22, he will be on the Abbey Line, starting from St Albans Abbey at 1052, travelling back and forth between St Albans and Watford Junction till 1330.

The two events are organised by the Marston Vale and Abbey Line community rail partnerships respectively. 

The festively decorated train will also have a couple of balloon modellers and face painters on board for entertainment as Santa as his helpers give out small bags of presents to children.
