Tickets for The Polar Express – Caledonian Railway can only be booked online through our ticketing agent. This is the only place where tickets can be bought – we are not selling tickets through any other means. There will also be no on-the-day ticket sales.
When you click on the Book Tickets Now button you will be automatically taken to our ticketing site – this will open in a new window.
To assist in selecting your tickets please see the step by step guides for Premium and Standard ticket purchases below.
How to Book Your Premium Tickets
Once you have selected your date and ticket type, you can select your seats. Premium Tickets are arranged in compartments. When you book your Premium Tickets, your party will be given the entire compartment – we will not place any other visitors in your compartment.
Seats already booked are shown in grey with a dark grey head icon.
Seats blocked out which are not used but prevent others booking space within an existing party are shown in grey. These can not be booked by anybody. If you wish to amend your booking, please get in touch with us via Facebook or email.
Seats still available for purchase are shown in gold.
To book a Premium ticket select the number of seats (gold circles) in the compartment of your choice in the Premium Coach. Once you are happy with your selection, select the Next button and complete your purchase.
It does not matter which seats you book in the compartment as long as you select the correct number as you can sit wherever you would like. If the party is greater than 8, then you will be split across two compartments – again you can decide who sits where.
Please note although we will block out the compartment for you, you can only have as many passengers as you have booked e.g. although each compartment holds 8 and we block it out, if you only book 4 tickets, only 4 can attend.
