What better way to start the festive season than with a ride on a vintage steam train from a bygone era? Swanky heritage London buses will pick you up from the door of Epping Tube Station and will whisk (chug) you up to North Weald Station. Here Santa's station staff will check your tickets and well-behaved adults can grab a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. Next up catch the Santa Express for a picturesque ride through Epping Forest and the Essex Countryside. Once on board, Santa will come and visit with a gift for every good child for a truly magical experience. At least one adult per group of children. Over 18s only for the mulled wine. You must catch the time of the bus you book. Push chairs are allowed on the bus but only if they collapse into an easy to carry size.
