- Region & Route:
- North West & Central
Families are set to embark on magical journeys from London Euston this year as THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride arrives in style at the station. After a roaring success last year, the charter train promises to bring the Christmas classic film to life, creating unforgettable memories throughout December.
This year, Euston station is proudly hosting The Polar Express again, bringing its enchanting magic back to London after the immersive adventure after a sell-out first year in 2024. Running only for fourteen dates between 29 November to 23 December, passengers lucky enough to secure tickets will be whisked away into the enchanting world of The Polar Express.
On board passengers will enjoy festive musical and theatrical performances, as well as a cosy treat of hot chocolate and a sweet delight. To top it all off, Santa himself may even make a special appearance onboard to spread some Christmas magic!
Amanda Webster-Uz, head of station operations at London Euston, said: “We’re very excited to welcome The Polar Express back to Euston station this year. It’s a fantastic experience that really captures the spirit of Christmas!
“With Euston expected to be busy throughout December and the Christmas period, we’d like to urge people to plan their journeys in advance and take care when travelling through the station.”
Mark Haynes, marketing manager for PNP Events, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing The Polar Express™ Train Ride back to London, sharing the timeless message of belief and the magic of Christmas with families once again. Each year, the experience creates moments of pure wonder, and we’re excited to welcome guests aboard for a festive journey that inspires joy, togetherness, and a renewed sense of Christmas spirit. Once again, we’d like to thank the team at Network Rail and Euston station for welcoming us back as we work together to bring this cherished Christmas tradition to life for even more families.”
