Santa's Steam Trains: Last few tickets available to meet Father Christmas at Leighton Buzzard Railway

If you’re hoping to get ‘all aboard’ on one of Santa’s Steam Trains this festive season don’t delay – as tickets are running out fast.

With just two days to go until Santa arrives at Leighton Buzzard Railway, it’s warning that there are very few tickets left to see him – and many trains are already sold out.

The magical Christmas event includes a 25 minute train ride mince pies and punch, a visit to Santa's grotto and presents for all children aged 12 and under.

But as many of the weekend and morning trains are already fully booked, the railway is advising people to book sooner rather than later –although i’s worth keeping an eye on the in case tickets become available again.

Tickets cost £10.50 for guests aged 13 and over, £11.50 for children aged two to 12 (which includes a present) and £6.50 for children under two, including a present.

Anyone visiting on or before December 14 is reminded that there are nearby roadworks – so allow extra time for your journey.
