Sounds so lovely.

I'm going in my PJs never mind the kids!!

Ooh it looks great. Pity my kids are too old and I stay in a different country.

Yes to Durham! It was awesome :)

Boo too far from me :(

Worth it then boozy? it's a good drive from us but not too far.

Oh my God. I just need DD 4.5 not to be terrified of Santa and we are doing this!!! Amazing. Thank you for spreading the word and enjoy it Op!

We went to Durham last year and it was amazing. The conductors and chefs were wonderful with the children and the whole experience was magical.
Worst part was the journey there and back as it was very foggy going through the moors.

We are not going this year as plan to go again when ds is old enough to enjoy it - celebrated his 1st birthday there :-)
I think when we do book would try and find somewhere to stay locally as would save travelling at night which is the best time to go to see everything lit up.

Sounds wonderful tulips. No moor drive for us, we're only about 90 min down the a1. What age would you advise? DS is three?

Oh dd would love this. It looks brilliant. Have a lovely time

I think 3 will be a perfect age. DS will be 3 a couple of days before next Christmas so we hope he will enjoy it more then.
When the staff found out it was his 1st birthday that day they had everyone in the carriage sing happy birthday. There was lots of singing and dancing during the ride and they like to get everyone up and joining in.

Oh wow! Sounds brilliant so looking forward to it

I've got tickets for the Durham one too! Im more excited than the kids, it looks brilliant.

Ohhh i would love to take DS to the Dartmoor one - i clicked on their link for the 'south' one and it seemed to be a dead link - i'll check back in a few days!

Link working now!

We are going on this too, I think I am more excited than DS.

I've had to explain to him that the outside of the train is different though so he knows in advance. It will save me an autistic meltdown when we get there. I don't want him shocked and upset that the outside of the train looks different to how it is in the story!

A friend of mine did it last year and said it was fantastic!
