Maybe they should probably put more effort into finding a resolution to the train strikes at the end of the month rather than this …
How do you find out about this in advance?
Went on this with my kids last year. It’s fun but the “express” part is misleading. It crawls around some back loops of London railways and stops regularly so that it can advertise a 90 minute running time. The carriages are very nice, the visit from the two Clauses is lovely, the presents and mince pies etc are fine. But I’d rather do a similar journey on one of the proper heritage railways so there’s at least some actual movement.
The west coast mainline goes past my flat and I’ve been enjoying watching steam trains go past whenever I’ve been wfh
Why we don’t have the same one here? 🤔
Polar express is at Euston too
If you observe these steam trains carefully you’ll see that they are actually pushed along by a secret diesel loco at the back end.
