2014 Santa Special

The Western Train parked on the siding at North Pier as the sun slowly sets below below the horizon

On Saturday 20th December the Western Train was parked on the siding at North Pier from 1000 to 1600 with Santa and his helpers onboard so that children could pay him a visit and also receive a present. After a very busy day, Santa Claus and his elves rounded off the proceedings with a well patronised return trip to Little Bispham and back.
