We have Santa Claus this year Grin

Just giving you an update - I understand that the stock scheduled is a class 150 unit, though of course that's subject to change due to operational issues. We ARE booking for 2 coaches, and with Sant coming up and down that means we should not be disappointing any children this year by having to say "sorry - fully booked"
