On the 24th December 2018, the Llangollen Railway ran their final 2018 steam trains with Santa himself on board.

George Jones captured these excellent images of the trains operating between Llangollen and Lapland.

Seen today, the penultimate Santa Special of the season was hauled by Great Western Railway Prairie tank 5199. George captured this locomotive arriving into Lapland.

Later 3802 hauled the final train. This was the 1430 off Llangollen and is seen departing Berwyn in some mild Christmas eve weather.

The next trains at the Llangollen Railway is the 1040 Mince Pie Special on Boxing Day.

Thanks to George Jones once again for capturing these images.
