I went with the little one plus the wife, and both sets of grandparents to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway today, and we had a cracking day on the Santa Special! We have done a few over the years, but this was the first with our little lad (2 in Jan and train mad!) and I have to say he had a fun day out! We have never been to a heritage railway where the staff are sooo cheery, helpful and kind! They couldn't do enough for the little kids (or big ones)... There was a Santas grotto on the train, magician, caroll singing, some brilliant toys from Santa - our little one got a plane, rubber duck and a book! Way more than normal on the Sanat Specials, and the highlight for my little one - sitting in the cab and pretending to drive the train! (He wasn't really bothered about Santa really as he is still a little too young to under stand it all just yet).
We will 100% be going back again as we can get the EMT train to Matlock from our village, and then get on the EVR to worksworth for a day out, a double whammy of trains,
