Jingle Bells Express - Tickets now on sale!

8 October, 2025

The tickets have gone on sale for our brand new Christmas event - the Jingle Bell Express.

Every weekend from the 29th of November until Christmas, it's a festive adventure for children and families. Can you help Santa gather enough Christmas cheer to power his sleigh?

In this exciting adventure you’ll be treated to interactive seat dances, toe-tapping original songs, and joyful activities that will usher in the Christmas Spirit. With twinkling lights, mischievous elves, and a surprise visit from Santa, this unforgettable ride will surely create lasting holiday memories. 

Departing from the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre in Ruddington, a heritage diesel train will take you along the line to Rushcliffe Halt and back again.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the magic—reserve your tickets today at The Great Central Railway Nottingham and help save Christmas on the Jingle Bell Express!
