Lamport Railway Fancy a magical Christmas encounter? Then wrap up and head out to visit Santa in his Magical Grotto and then take a relaxing train ride along the Northampton & Lamport Railway from Pitsford and Brampton station. Don’t forget, as there are a large number of children who want to meet Santa, you’ll need to make an appointment with the big man himself! Appointments start at 10:30am then are at 30-minute intervals until 3:30pm. There will be a frequent train service operating each day so once you’ve seen Santa there will be a minimum delay before you can board the train and enjoy the ride. Every child will receive a present, soft drink and biscuits, while every adult can enjoy a glass of sherry and a delicious mince pie. Check out their website for dates and times.
