Santa meets some young friends on the train
Proceeds from the 'Santa Special' trains go towards the extension and development of the award-winning Swanage Railway which has been rebuilt from nothing since 1976 and last year carried more than 200,000 passengers.
Swanage Railway chairman Peter Sills, said: "Yet again, the atmosphere on our 'Santa Special' steam trains has been magical and very special indeed – it's wonderful to see the expressions of joy on the children's faces when they receive their present from Father Christmas.
