We have just over 35 of the Best Santa Special Christmas Trains for 2025 listed in this post. There is such a great range of events over Christmas time for families. One thing we have always enjoyed is a ride on a Santa Special Christmas Train. There’s something about the nostalgia and the noise of the train. I just don’t think it can be beaten for kids to meet Santa. Below there are listings in each of the main areas across England. Please note that some of the experiences include meeting Santa on the train – others include meeting him at a grotto before or after a train ride.
