The Mid-Norfolk Railway’s Polar Express season has begun with a special performance for Ukraine children currently living in Norfolk who have escaped from the ongoing war in their Country.

As a leading railway charity, the Mid-Norfolk Railway takes its place in the local community seriously and the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust Council wanted to make this gesture of support to the children and families that find themselves living in Norfolk as a result of the conflict in their country.


Graham Watts, the Chairman of the Railway said: "The War in Ukraine is in the news still on a regular basis and it is now two years since this conflict began, there is little we can do, however what we can do is hopefully bring some fun and joy at this time of time of the year to these families that find themselves living here in Norfolk not through choice”.


The trip on The Polar Express Train Ride was organised in conjunction with Dereham Ukraine Centre, which saw 145 Ukraine refugees and their Norfolk host families from Dereham and the surrounding villages, enjoy their Polar Express experience on the railway.


The majority of tickets for this year's season have now been sold with just a few pairs still available from the railway’s website.


The outline for next year’s programme is now on the railway’s website with more details of events being published soon.

I really liked this initiative from Mid-Norfolk Railway — a true example of how the local community can show humanity and support to those who find themselves in difficult life circumstances. Such actions inspire and remind us that kindness knows no boundaries. While reading this news, I came across another interesting resource — https://dripify.com/dripify-alternatives/. It is a platform that helps automate work on LinkedIn, create effective campaigns for developing contacts and finding partners. I think it could even be useful for charitable organizations or social projects — after all, Dripify can be used to expand your circle of like-minded people and attract support for good causes. I would very much like to see such technologies and humanity always go hand…

My flatmate suggested we try online casino, so I searched for something reliable. I wanted to join with live table and found https://roulette77.co.uk/roulette-sites/live-roulette with live online roulette, where they have a lot of rewards like sign up bonus, daily promotions, loyalty extras. In UK it’s common to hang out online with mates, and this was perfect. I liked that we could share experience watching live dealers.

A guy on the train told me about an online casino. Was looking for a site that works in London with games other than PlayBreak. Tried https://www.carecity.london/casinos-not-on-playbreak/ and their slot lists are just amazing. Of course, the 200 free spins and the no-holds-barred atmosphere are great. Made my walk through the art objects fun with the game ideas.
