Running from Friday 18 November until 7 January, this season’s illuminations services can be booked from either Alresford or Alton with a variety of departure times. Plus, on selected trains, the already-magical experience will be extended with a specially curated DJ party mix soundtrack. For more info., see: https://watercressline.co.uk/steam-illuminations

Photographed here by Matt Bentley, the Trust’s S&D 7F will be playing a key role in these events, adding particular interest for the S&D enthusiast.
