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.

Practical relevance often determines whether learning sticks. The College of Contract Management connects lessons to real professional situations. Knowledge feels usable. Confidence increases.
A really touching story-bringing Ukrainian children onto a heritage railway like the Mid-Norfolk Railway is such a meaningful gesture, especially because experiences like this go far beyond a simple train ride and become moments of comfort, joy, and normality during very difficult times; what stands out is how railways like this often serve not only as historical preservation projects but also as living community spaces where people can connect, share experiences, and create memories that matter, and it also highlights how organizing special events like this requires careful coordination of volunteers, scheduling, safety, and guest experience, which is very similar to how complex initiatives are handled in other environments, something well reflected in Portfolio Resource Management: A Complete Guide, where…
I downloaded the fish and spins after seeing it mentioned in UK about mobile casinos that actually function properly. I’ve got an older Android, so half the apps crash or lag. This one ran perfectly from the start. I liked that I could jump into a few quick games on my lunch break without any hassle. The layout’s tidy, and the connection stayed stable even on train Wi-Fi. It’s become part of my daily routine now — a quick game or two before heading home from work. Genuinely convenient and well-built.
