Everything in the refreshment room is ready
- including the headless but cool bear

First train about to leave North Pole empty,
to pick up passengers at East Tanfield

..... middle of the day .....

The bear is interesting .....

..... but nowhere near as exciting as waiting to see Santa

Twizell bringing in the next flood, as others wait to
return, and the bear moves in

..... and late afternoon .....

The last train of passengers has arrived

No.6 ready to return a happy crowd to ET
