Families will be greeted by festive characters, such as Mrs Claus, as well as the man in the red suit himself, Santa

It is running this Christmas at London on December 20 and December 21.

The trips begin at London Victoria, where passengers will climb aboard the train’s vintage carriages that date back to the 1960s.

You’ll then embark on a 1hr30 minute adventure through south London, passing Chiswick, before heading towards Barnes and Clapham Junction.

The exact route is yet to be confirmed, but Steam Dreams Rail Co have said the route is likely to be similar to previous years, ending at London Victoria.

When onboard, children can expect to receive a sweet treat, drink and gift, while adults can enjoy some mulled wine, tea or coffee and a mince pie.

Families will also be riding along with festive characters, such as Mrs Claus, along with a merry band of elves who will hand out children’s gifts.

A copy of the International Elf Service North Pole Star newspaper with up-to-date stories and announcements from the Christmas Workshop, written by the Elves, will also be available.

And once the drinks and nibbles are done, children can get stuck into some Christmas activities, before meeting the man in red himself, Santa.

The festive trips will be hauled by two iconic steam locomotives – either the 700000 Britannia or 34046 Braunton, which date back over 70 years.

They’ll depart four times a day on December 20 and December 21, with slots running at 9:30am, 11:45am, 15:30pm and 18:15pm, with booking starting from £55 per person in Coach Class.

This is cheaper than last year, where the cheapest tickets were priced at £65.

For passengers who want something more private, you can opt to book a private carriage instead.

Head of Communications at Steam Dreams, Juliet Soley, said: “We are delighted to be bringing the magic of steam and Santa to London Victoria for the fourth year.

“It is a joy to be part of the Christmas countdown traditions of many families and we look forward to welcoming guests on board this year to create special memories.

“With only two dates this year, we encourage guests book early once tickets are available.”

Tickets for Club Class, with luxury cushioned seating and spacious tables within a festively adorned carriage, start from £75.

For a private compartment which seats up to six people, prices start from £550.

Other Christmas train rides across the country

Steam Dreams Rail Co. has some other festive trips on offer:

Its London to York Christmas Market journey departs London Kings Cross on Thursday 28th November, and stops at Potters Bar, Stevenage and Peterborough along the way.

Other journeys include:

  • London to Bath Christmas Market – Saturday 30th November
  • Southend to Bath Christmas Market – Friday 6th December
  • East Anglia to Chester Christmas Market – Friday 13th December

Elsewhere in Europe, a new train route linking two of Europe’s most popular cities will be up and running in time for Christmas market season.

The high-speed service will run from Berlin to Paris, between Berlin Hauptbahnhof and Paris Gare de L’Est, with stops in Frankfurt, Strasbourg and Karlsruhe.

Inside the ‘second coming’ of Sir Bradley Wiggins as he makes return to cycling after ‘isolating himself from the world’

CYCLING legend Sir Bradley Wiggins is back in the saddle after three long years away.

The eight-time Olympic medallist took part in a 50-mile charity ride this weekend in Staffordshire.

Wiggins retired from competitive cycling in 2016 after becoming a household name at London 2012.

He has won five Olympic golds over his illustrious track career, before switching to road racing.

Wiggins was the first Briton to win the Tour de France, but admitted he had “fallen out of love” with the sport in recent years.

The 44-year-old deliberately “isolated himself from the world” as his mental health began to deteriorate.

He associated “bad things” and “childhood traumas” with cycling, last stepping onto a bike in 2021.

Wiggins was declared bankrupt in June this year after his debts ballooned to nearly £1million.

He also went public about vile sexual abuse he suffered as a child at the hands of an elderly cycling coach.

Wiggins claims to be in a “good place now” and joined 80 other cyclists at Saturday’s Project Pau event.

He told BBC Sport: “It’s been nice to remember just how many friends I’ve got in this sport.

“I blamed cycling for a long time. I don’t see it like that any more.

“Cycling has been a big part of my life and it still is to this day.

“With having that break from cycling the last few years, I kind of feel like it’s a second coming, from a cycling point of view.”

Wiggins led the peloton on a ride around Stafford, starting at Sandon Hall.

He added: “[It’s nice] being able to let go of the past and the elite side of the sport and really see it for the social element of it.”

Wiggins later met members of the public in a meet-and-greet at nearby Trentham Shopping Village.

Posting to his 389,000 Instagram followers, Wiggins revealed his comeback after three long years.

Delighted fans were quick to wish him well, with many hoping it wouldn’t be his last foray back onto the bike.

One wrote: “Once a legend, always a legend.”

And another commented: “Wishing you a return to glory fella, in whatsoever form you wish for.”

Wiggins endured a decade of hell after leaving cycling behind.

His marriage fell apart, leaving the two-time SPOTY winner divorced, homeless and reportedly sofa-surfing.

Wiggins’ lawyer Alan Sellers said: “He has lost absolutely everything.

“His family home, his home in Majorca, his savings and investments. It’s a very sad state of affairs.”
