Cholsey and Wallingford Railway, a volunteer-run tourist train line set up in 1861, runs themed train rides for customers including the "Santa Express" in the winter. The heritage organisation wrote on Facebook: “We are incredibly proud to have been included in "The Times" Top 15 Santa Trains for the second year in a row. The route is a round trip from Wallingford station through scenic countryside, which takes about an hour. The railway also runs seasonal events and themed train rides throughout the year, and the busy Christmas period also offers a “wine train” with a tasting, and a “New Year’s Day mince pie special”. Tickets are still available for The Santa Express, which begins running on November 23 until Christmas.
