Our team have Nomo chocolate available at the event without the need to let us know about this in advance. Nomo chocolate is suitable for a wide range of allergens and dietary requirements including vegan, gluten free, dairy free, nut free and egg free. Ask our team at check in should you wish for your child to have a Nomo bar instead of the gingerbread biscuit.

There is limited storage space on board the train for pushchairs. Pushchairs will generally need to be folded to get through the doors on the train.

Children under 6 months are not counted towards the maximum number of persons in your compartment.

The number of persons a compartment ticket is for is the maximum number of persons that can be in that compartment. We will allow one young child as an addition to the maximum number only. Larger groups should buy open style seating to be sat together or multiple compartments and we will try to allocate them adjacent to each other.
