Swanage swaps Santa for lights

and Lights’ trains – featuring more operating days, together with refreshed lineside and station lighting displays – are to be operated by Swanage Railway volunteers during December after the sold-out success of last year’s festive services.

Operating on 17 selected days, with two evening trains each day from Swanage at 5.15pm and 7.15pm, the service replaces the traditional Santa Specials for the second year running. These trains cannot operate because of the measures that need to be taken to counter the spread of Covid-19.
