Father Christmas will be coming to deliver presents in St Albans and Harpenden by train this weekend.

Children will be able to get presents on board a First Capital Connect train when it passes through the area on Saturday with Santa as a passenger.

He will be arriving at Harpenden at 10.56am and then St Albans 11.02am.

Keith Jipps, First Capital Connect’s Customer Service Director, said: "Every year we like to create a Santa Special for children and their parents or carers along the route. It’s one of the ways we can say thank you to our passengers."

First Capital Connect has joined up with The Rotary Club of St Albans Verulamium, whose members will be on board collecting for charity throughout the journey.
