Santa at Hesketh Bank
Saturday 24 December 2011
Santa appears at virtually every preserved railway so it seems, and without breaking any laws of physics, as far as we know. West Lancs is no exception, and today rounded off a successful season with over 600 visitors to the railway. My modest contribution was to blow up and issue balloons to anyone who looked young enough to want one, which was the majority of the customer base.
In contrast to last year, where the first task of the day was to clear a foot of snow off the car park and platforms, the weather was mild and even occasionally sunny.
