And, thanks to Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway, families can come along to met Lapland’s most famous resident every day from Saturday, December 17 to Saturday, December 24 – Christmas Eve.

A Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway spokesperson said: “Start your Christmas celebrations in the best way possible and join us for a magical steam train journey to the North Pole. The event will include a reserved seat in a shared carriage or your own private compartment, where you can relax and enjoy a round trip by steam train to the North Pole South – also known as Birkhill – in our festively decorated historic carriages.

“Santa will meet every family on board our train and hand out a present to all children and infants who have been good this year.”
