Back for 2022! Santa Special: ‘Santa’s Quiet Train. Running on 27th November at 15:10, this experience will be tailored to our passengers with special needs, autism and enhanced sensory needs.
We will be supporting our ‘Quiet Train’ passengers during this afternoon by making a few changes:
- Our Christmas lights will not be flashing! They will still be lit up for those who want to feel the magic, but they will be on constantly.
- We will turn the music down! Christmas carols will be played below our normal volume.
- We won’t shout about Santa! Our tannoy announcements will be switched off during this period.
- There will be less whistling while we work! We’ll keep train whistling to a minimum and only whistle when it is necessary.
- We will take our time! Whilst this ‘Santa’s Quiet Train’ benefits from 60 minutes at Hythe, we will welcome fewer children & adults, giving more time for individual enjoyment.
- Skip the queue! Santa’s Grotto is where you will wait to see the full array of Christmas decorations but if queuing is difficult, we are happy to give a return time to visit Santa and by pass the Grotto.
What Santa wants you to know:
- There will still be a couple of whistles on the journey from New Romney to Hythe
- Our level crossing systems make a 2-tone bleeping sound (for safety) when the trains cross them. This will happen a couple of times on your journey.
