The Santa Specials...
Why not take a train ride this Christmas to meet Santa at his grotto. The trip consists of taking a train ride from Bishops Lydeard to Crowcombe Heathfield or from Minehead to Blue Anchor to meet Santa. At the station grotto each child will receive a present and, once every child has visited Santa and returned to the train, the return journey will begin.

The Santa Express...
The Santa Express is slightly different to the traditional Santa Specials. Instead of arriving at Santa's Grotto and queuing to see him you will be visited by Santa whilst on the train. The Santa Express will travel from Bishops Lydeard to Williton and return. All fares are inclusive return fares and cover travel, mince pies and seasonal refreshments for the adults and presents for the children. There is a buffet coach on all our trains, serving a good range of high quality locally produced hot and cold food, tea and coffee and a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The prices and dates for 2009 are listed below...
