New Year's Eve Winter Warmers

New Year's Eve 2022 marked the last day of operating trains for us this year, with 1208 in service on Winter Warmers. From all at the NTSRA, Happy New Year!

Christmas Eve Elf Express

Today was the last day of operating 2022's Elf Express, and it was also the first time we have ever ran on Christmas Eve!

Unfortunately 08915 (in the far right of this photo) failed with a suspected earth fault half way through today, meaning 1208 Illingworth took the last two trains solo
