Discover Dublin, under @discoverdublin on TikTok, shared a bizarre clip of a steam train departing the Dublin Connolly Station this morning.
They wrote: “Spotted at Connolly Station in Dublin this morning.”
The ‘Santa Special’ steam train was seen departing the station to hit the tracks as people on board were excited for the festivity to kick off with a vast entertainment on board.
The Santa Special train is part of the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland and is a seasonal event where they provide two-hour journeys on the vintage train.
The train arrives in Maynooth and leaves again after 30 minutes to return to the capital, allowing passengers to admire the views with the entertainment.
The train comes with an onboard visit from the one and only Santa Claus to listen to your Christmas wishes, and he will reward you with a selection box of gifts.
People have plenty of opportunities to take photographs of the famous legend beside the train at Maynooth and Dublin.
Throughout the journey, Santa and the musicians will be passing through the train to greet the passengers.
And mince pies and mulled wine will be available from the dining car, keeping you well-fed and hydrated for the journey.
The train will be made up of steam locomotive No.131 hauling the heritage coaching stock, complete with the usual facilities of a snack car serving a variety of hot and cold items.
This includes a draught and craft beer and hot chocolate and coffee.
The crowd uses steam trains for 10am and 1:30pm and a diesel train for 4pm.
