London's only Santa steam train returns for a second year - *LIMITED REVIEW OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE*

Steam Dreams Rail Co. has announced four dates for its highly anticipated Santa Steam Express trips this winter, departing from London Victoria on the 14th, 16th, 19th and 21st December.

The return of The Santa Steam Express will see families welcomed on-board the festively decorated 1970's carriages by none other than Santa himself – plus his merry helpers, on one of three departures each day (09:30, 11:45, 14:00) for a 1 hour 15 magical steam journey around London. Children will enjoy a drink and festive sweet treat on arrival and will receive their very own gift from Santa as he passes through the carriages - making precious memories as he goes.

During the jolly vintage steam journey, grownups can sit back and beat the chills with a warm drink and mince pie, whilst taking in the wintery landscape before returning to London Victoria. Passengers will be able to choose from two ticket types:

First Class
Mulled wine and mince pies will be served to all adults in the spacious, modernised 1970's first class carriages where guests will be comfortably seated at either a four-person or two person table.* All children will enjoy a festive sweet treat, drink and gift. £55 per adult, £40 per child, £275 group of six

Standard Class
Adults will be served tea and coffee with a mince pie on arrival as guests are seated around tables of four in the 1970's carriages with large picture windows. All children will enjoy a festive sweet treat, drink and gift. £40 per adult, £30 per child.
