    Slightly off topic but didn't realise the MRC started santas so early. Does any railway start them earlier or indeed as early as the MRC?

    I don't mind imported material apart from where it involves our language. This is Britain and it is the Midland Railway Centre.

    Actually, it's the Midland Railway - Butterley, and has been for about 10 years now! However, I agree with what you're saying.

    We do start our Santa's early, but we get a fair bit of coach traffic on the November weekends which makes it worth doing!
