    Ho Ho Ho! The Spirit of Christmas will put some trust in West Coast for a fine trip. She who must be obeyed likes the idea of a Christmas Lunch outing so here we go. What could go wrong ;)

    Has to be the red one, surely, with a face on the front and festooned with tinsel?
    Also ETH diesel on the rear.
    or just an unadorned, unassisted 8F :)

    Tried booking on this a couple of weeks ago. Apparently all 3 trains are sold out already and have been for a while.

    Does it really matter for this market? The important thing is it makes a chuffing sound when it rolls into the platform and the kids get to meet Santa?

    Unless there is some operational restriction, a santaface would be expected I should think. All part of the 'product' - and why not?

    Never had a Santa face in any of the SS's we have done with the young un, so no reason why this will be any different. As long as she gets to meet Santa and there is plenty of whistling our little lass will be a happy little girl.

    Can't wait.

    I hope there proves to be a market for a regular Sunday train using the route.

    They could always cast 'Rudolph' nameplates for Galatea and hang some antlers on the smokebox door :Updated:;)
