Is the Polar Express Sold Out?
The Polar Express Train Ride at Wensleydale Railway has officially sold out! Over 40,000 passengers will receive their Golden Tickets to the most magical train ride of all this Christmas, departing from Yorkshire and travelling all the way to the North Pole and back again in just an hour.
Where is The Polar Express?
The Conductor is busily practicing his ticket clipping (and checking a thesaurus for inspiration!). The chefs are perfecting their cookie recipes with the help of some ticket elves. And Santa cannot wait to greet all the children who are making their way to see him on the Polar Express this Christmas.
However, what about those of you who missed out on tickets to Yorkshire’s Polar Express event? You’ll be very pleased to know that all hope may not be lost of catching the Polar Express. The creators of Wensleydale’s event are also behind several other Polar Express Train Rides across the UK.
