Get into the true spirit of Christmas with the GWR's annual 'Christmas Carols by Steam' on Saturday evening, 5^th December!

The service, in aid of the Fire Fighter's Charity, takes place under the Christmas lights at Winchcombe station following arrival of the special train from Toddington, which departs promptly at 7.00pm.

The carol service will be conducted by the Hereford & Worcester Fire Brigade Chaplain, Rev. Dick Johnson, with music from the Salvation Army band playing all your favourite carols. After the train returns refreshments will be served in the Flag & Whistle tearooms at Toddington.

Tickets are just £8.00 (including refreshments) and you can buy them in advance from the Toddington booking office (telephone 01242 621 405) or contact the GWR's own fire brigade representative Dave Smith, on 07710 504 765.  He tells us that over 100 tickets have already been sold and for those booking this week, you can collet your tickets at the station on the night but please arrive in good time.  He adds that a few tickets will availble for people who just turn up - but again, please get there in good time and ask for Dave.

Please note, there will be no car parking at Winchcombe station and the service can only be reached using the special train from Toddington.  Don't forget - the train departs Toddington promptly at 7.00pm!
