It’s that time of the year to watch NORAD and track Santa. It’s great that he has private transportation and doesn’t have to unwrap boxes for TSA security clearance. He must have diplomatic immunity and the best passport in the world to travel and get down all those chimneys. What type of packing cubes and bags does Santa use? Tetris packer?

In the UK he gets round all that by using a special train which starts from North Pole International Depot (a real train Depot- originally used by Eurostar when it ran from Waterloo) and travels round every one of the 2,600+ stations in a 30 minute period.
It is now the only train to run from North Pole.
It is the only 'mixed' train in the UK carrying both passenger and freight cars in it's consist including a mulled wine tanker- https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-nr:S73184/2024-12-24/detailed#allox_id=0

Mulled wine tanker - Excellent! Santa and his reindeer need a break now and then.
