Barton Cleethorpes CRP Santa Special 2024
The Barton Cleethorpes Community Rail Partnership ran their ever-popular Santa Special onboard the train from Barton to Cleethorpes and back again on bright and chilly Saturday 14 December 2024. Santa was onboard with all his helpers, and he spent time talking to the children and asking about their Christmas lists and his controversial “Naughty or Nice” list! Clearly everyone on the train was on the nice list as seventy gifts and selection boxes were given out to all the children onboard, whilst their parents enjoyed chocolates, mince pies and cranberry juice. One mum said, “We came to the Santa Special last year too, and didn’t think it could get better, but I was wrong.”
Alongside the Santa Special, BCCRP also launched their Railway 200 Art Competition. Children onboard the train created artwork depicting trains of the past, present and future. Their entries will be submitted to the competition which runs until 28 February 2025. Winners of the competition will see their work reproduced and displayed at stations along the route to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the first ever passenger train in the UK.
