Title: Christmas Special 1X01, 2023. Post by: JayMac on December 24, 2023, 15:12:42 The elves are busy loading up 1X01 at North Pole International. My home station is second on the list of calls tonight. This year it's running as a sleeper service, but sadly it hasn't been immune to cost cutting - there's no catering. Although I'm sure that mince pies, brandy, carrots and milk will be picked up at each stop.

And is there such a thing as reindeers ? I though it was one reindeer, many reindeer, like sheep. Title: Re: Christmas Special 1X01, 2023.

I though it was one reindeer, many reindeer, like sheep. There is a Christmas magic with that train where the impossible happens. I noticed a complete carriage of mulled wine and a statement that there was no catering (which seems a contradiction) and an HS2 power car on one end with an IET power car on the other - again a miracle from the Santa workshops.
