9The Santa Special is a return journey by vintage train from Dublin Connolly, with an on-board visit from Santa, to tell him your Christmas wishes, and selection box gifts for children. There will be plenty of opportunity for photographs with the man in red beside the train.

As usual, Santa and musicians will be passing through the train. There will be mince pies and mulled wine available from the dining car.

The train will be made up of steam locomotive No.131 hauling our heritage coaching stock, complete with the usual facilities of snack car serving a variety of hot and cold items throughout the day alongside our renowned bar car with draught and craft beer available.

Note: The evening train will have the same experience, but hauled by a diesel locomotive.

The whole trip lasts around 2 hours.
