I doubt. They will just tell passengers to do their own thing.There may be a lot of passengers at various stations needing this train to get home if the weather forecasts are correct. Is ticket acceptance in place?
I was thinking the same, could it in theory be possible to follow this route to tick off every GB railway station??I wonder how long that journey would take my mere humans?
Picture shows a Christmas Special formed of Rudolph the Red Nosed Powercar hauling a wagon with the Sleigh on top, 3 wagons of presents aswell a tender of coal and a large 70,000 Litre tanker of Mulled Wine. Also confusingly having an IET powercar on the rear.
I see the timing load has been removed !! HoHoHoJust looked and it has an allocation on RTT - Picture below
With stops in the order listed ?I wonder how long that journey would take my mere humans?
Google's Bard AI says visiting these stations on real trains would result in "Total travel time: Approximately 66-72 hours, equivalent to 2.75-3 days non-stop.". Its stated assumptions seem to involve trains being available as required rather than as per timetable (something like a special charter travelling 120mph, regardless of linespeed, non-stop on greens). Obviously that's nothing like what I meant. I emphasized it should use the ordinary timetable and it said seven days. Still sounds nothing like correct.I wonder how long that journey would take my mere humans?
The Christmas special is showing on various departure screens that use the RTT API:

This was in the TOPS requests thread.Anyone know what's on the 1X01 North Pole International to North Pole International tonight? Couldn't see, it was passing me too quickly
Why those locos?This was in the TOPS requests thread.
I believe the train is being worked by Rudolph with the following locos DIT:
66587, 68006, 90021, 92029, 91111, 67024, 69005, 47830.
Merry Christmas everyone!
That is very funny.Google's Bard AI says visiting these stations on real trains would result in "Total travel time: Approximately 66-72 hours, equivalent to 2.75-3 days non-stop.".

The Chat GPT AI said it was impossible to estimate how long the journey would take on real trains with any accuracy. I asked it to guess and it started talking about how many people were born every day!
Some of the stations don't actually have a platform 1, for example Shrewsbury.Love the train allocation graphics this year. I look forward to seeing this train and route details each year. Been keeping an eye on real time trains the past week waiting for this to appear!
Currently showing as being at platform - North Pole. I've only just noticed at all the stations (I think) it only serves platform 1.
That's no issue for Santa: if he can magic his way into houses with no chimneys, there'll be a platform 1 appearing on-demand for him.Some of the stations don't actually have a platform 1, for example Shrewsbury.
Ah yes of course, I forgot the magic element in his job description!That's no issue for Santa: if he can magic his way into houses with no chimneys, there'll be a platform 1 appearing on-demand for him.
