Heathrow Express is transforming one of its carriages into an enchanting scene, just in time for the festive season.
Between 5 – 7 December, those lucky enough to be travelling in the Christmas carriage can experience a joyful journey. Christmas postal elves will guide people along the platform to the carriage, where twinkling lights and the sound of sleigh bells ringing await as they step onboard the Heathrow Festive Express.
Once seated, passengers can immerse themselves in a carriage cascading with colourful baubles, loaded with letters to Santa, packed with parcels and rammed to the rafters with festive fun. Plus, special treats including a Golden Ticket giveaway and a chance to win a shopping spree will be on offer.
Those wishing to travel on the Heathrow Express over the holidays can book tickets in advance from as little as £5.50. It offers a stress-free experience that takes just 15 minutes to reach its destination, as well as spacious cabins, free Wi-Fi, and an onboard entertainment system. Additionally, children aged 15 years and under travel free*, making a trip to the North Pole (or any other destination) even better value for money.
For those travelling during the month of December, the joy continues, as from 1 December to 6 January 2023, a Christmas tree will be centre stage at Paddington, covered in bright baubles and vintage decorations. Young passengers will be thrilled with a mini version of the Heathrow Express running on tracks around the tree in a snowy scene. Finally, from 12 to 23 December, anyone passing through London Paddington will be able to take in the festive atmosphere, when live performances from carol singers will roam the station, and seasonal Instagram worthy photo opportunities set up to delight every traveller.
*Children aged 15 years and under travel free in Express Class when accompanied by a paying adult or can travel unaccompanied if they have proof of air travel such as a valid flight booking or boarding pass. Photo ID will be required.
