REVIEWS
We visited the Telford Steam Railway travelling from 3 hours away in December 2019 as a family of 5 (Children aged 10,7 and 5) for the Polar Express... and I am glad we did. We booked premium tickets and were very happy with our choice, our seats were in a lovely carriage and we all received a beautiful Polar Express Mug to take home, every passenger also receives an excellent quality silver bell from Father Christmas. Our children were gripped for the entire train ride, there was always something happening to keep their attention.

The Polar Express Train Ride at Telford Steam Railway was magical. It got us all into the Christmas spirit and everybody got involved in the singing and dancing. I liked how the whole thing followed the book and film. I also liked how different it was to going to a show at a theatre. we really felt like part of the show, I liked how we had to get involved (me and my friend wore matching elf pyjamas). It was so fun. I liked all of the characters especially the conductor and the ghost who really was quite scary. I also liked the effects of the northern light as we travelled through a tunnel.

The whole operation is run very efficiently - starting and finishing with the shuttle bus service. My grandson and I were on an evening train which I think is an advantage. The actors on the train are very professional, as is the sound system both on the train and at the station. The hot chocolate and cookies are delicious; our Golden Tickets were punched; the mugs we received are high quality. 'Mr. C' boarded the train at 'The North Pole and spoke to every child whilst handing out 'the first gift of Christmas' - a beautiful sleigh bell.

"The thing about trains... it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on."
Join us at the Midlands Top Rated Polar Express! This Christmas experience is unlike any other. Brought to you by the number 1 voted Polar Express in the World, Telford Steam Railway hosts The Polar Express Train Ride for 2021. Your journey begins just like the 2004 Motion Picture where The Polar Express will pick you up to take you to the North Pole. You will get to meet all the characters from the film including the conductor, the singing chefs, the hobo and of course the main man himself, 'Mr C'. You and your family, dressed in Pyjamas, will experience a fun filled theatrical adventure as you make your way to the North Pole. |
"Seeing is believing. Am I right?"
Throughout your journey you will tangle with the Caribou, see the magic of the Northern Lights and have the story of The Polar Express told to you by the singing Chefs. Don’t forget to have a bite of your cookie and a drink of authentic Hot Chocolate before arriving at the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. Santa will join you and, if you are on the nice list, hand you your first gift of Christmas, a Silver Sleigh Bell just as in the Motion picture we all love. You will get to see Santa as he walks through the train handing out the first gift of Christmas. Once you arrive back at the station your journey is not at its end, far from it. You then get the opportunity to experience Santa’s Workshop, where you can write a letter to Santa, go through our Naughty or Nice Scanner and buy a souvenir of your experience! |
