Santa Claus spotted at Swindon Station
On Saturday, 1st December, over 80 people travelled by train from Melksham to Swindon and back to meet Santa Claus on the return train. The group was seen off from Melksham by the town Criers of Melksham and Ilfracombe soon after 9 O'clock, had a great time shopping and visiting the Steam museum in Swindon before lunch, and returned on the early afternoon train accompanied by Santa Claus, who gave presents to over 30 children in the group. The outing was arranged by the Melksham Railway Development Group.
