This winter, Vintage Trains are once again bringing THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride to Birmingham, an enchanting festive journey straight from the beloved 2004 motion picture.

This immersive family-oriented experience hosted around 19,000 passengers in 2024.

Departing from Birmingham Moor Street station, the immersive experience runs from Friday 22 November through Tuesday 23 December 2025, offering four daily departures (with an additional fifth on 20 and 21 December) that promise to transport passengers of all ages into the heart of this classic children’s tale. With tickets now on sale, guests are encouraged to book as soon as possible, as this beloved part of Birmingham’s Christmas celebrations is expected to sell out.

What to expect:
- The 2004 film theatrically recreated onboard heritage carriages, behind a real steam locomotive
- A Golden Ticket for each passenger
- A delicious hot chocolate and cookie for each passenger
- The first gift of Christmas – a bell that only rings for those who believe, given out by Father Christmas himself
- Exclusive merch you won’t be able to find anywhere else
- Opportunity to take photos with the locomotive and characters from the film
- Premium tickets – each come with a ceramic mug exclusive to this year and a bag for every table
