Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets well in advance, especially if you desire specific seating arrangements or are traveling with a group, as this popular event often sells out.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time to allow ample time for boarding and to locate your assigned seats.
- Consider upgrading to Premium Class for a more comfortable and festive experience, complete with table seating and included treats.
- Dress in warm layers, as train rides can be cooler than expected, even with heating, and you'll be boarding and disembarking outdoors.
