New Nottinghamshire Christmas train ride launching this November - how much tickets cost and how to book

A brand-new Christmas train ride experience near Nottingham is set to take passengers on a magical festive journey next month.

The Jingle Bell Express, departing from the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre in Ruddington, will be getting passengers in the festive spirit every weekend in the lead up to Christmas from Saturday, November 30.

Families will enjoy a heritage train ride through the Nottinghamshire countryside accompanied by Santa and his elves.

With games, activities, music and festive decorations, the train ride is guaranteed to leave passengers feeling Christmassy.

There will be free drinks for all passengers, plus a gift for each child.

Andy Fillingham from Great Central Railway said: “Since we put tickets on sale for the Jingle Bells Express on the 4th of October, demand has been incredible.

“As we reopen our railway which is alongside the vibrant Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre, we are delighted to be seeing such demand for families to travel on our trains.

“It will be a fantastic experience for all, creating magical memories.”
