GOLD tickets:
When booking GOLD tickets, you are booking a private First-Class compartment, for up to six people. These are sold as a whole compartment price. These are our most popular seats! Our GOLD ticket holders enjoy the larger and plusher seats of their First-Class compartment, plus reserved seating on the 2 front rows at the pantomime. Maximum booking is for 6 people (babies under 12 months can be added on top as they do not need a seat). If you have less than 6 people you can still book a private compartment, but the price will be for 6 people.)

🥈 SILVER tickets:
When booking SILVER tickets, you are booking a private Standard compartment for up to 8 people. (Minimum booking 6 people, but if you have less than 6 people in your party, you can still book a private compartment, but the price will be for 6 people.)

🥉 BRONZE tickets:
When booking BRONZE tickets, you are booking single tickets within a Shared Standard compartment. Please note: you will share your compartment with members of other parties. (Minimum booking is for 1 person, maximum 5)

👶 BABIES & PUSHCAHIRS
NB Babies under 12 months are £8.50 and do NOT need a seat but will still receive a present. Seats are not allocated for babies. Pushchairs are not permitted on the train but can be left undercover on the platform. Don’t forget to include babies on your booking who may not have been born yet but will be born in time for our event!
