Santa Services
xxx

           
 

 

Each year during December, and prior to Christmas, Ribble Valley Rail, in partnership with Northern Rail, runs its SANTA SERVICES.

The units are seasonally decorated, and manned by RVR members. Santa distributes presents to the children between Blackburn and Clitheroe, whilst adult passengers are treated to mince pies and sherry.

Santa's arrival at Ramsgreave & Wilpshire is eagerly awaited
 

Friend of R&W, Ken Roberts, as always, is on hand to marshall the crowds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 

The arrival at R&W of the 11:40 hrs Clitheroe to Manchester Vic service

"No, Santa is not on this train"

 

Noting the headboard, clearly this must be Santa's train

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   
 

Just a few of the RVR servers, relaxing with Santa, having assisted with the distribution of copious Goody Bags, Mince Pies, and Sherry, and all accomplished in a very short space of time.

For many years, Ribble Valley Rail (RVR) has been most grateful for the considerable support it has received from various sponsors, who have given most generously towards its raffles and provisions on its Santa Services.

 

SPONSORS

 

In return, RVR wishes to show its appreciation by including, for the sponsors, free adverts, designed by the Webmaster (NK), who hopes to vary their content periodically to reflect the time of year and changes in respective promotions.
