West Coast Express is extremely proud of our special Santa Trains that run each year. Anyone bringing a new, unwrapped toy for the Toy Bureau in their community rides the train for free. Santa makes a special appearance onboard the train to visit with kids of all ages!

This year our annual Santa Trains are scheduled for Saturday, December 5th and Saturday, December 12th, 2009, Santa and Mrs.Clause will be onboard to visit with the kids. Please bring a new unwrapped toy to exchange for a WCE return ticket at your home station.

This WCE train will depart Mission at 10:00 am and will arrive downtown at approximately 11:15 am. The trip home from Waterfront will depart at 5:00 pm, so there will be plenty of time for shopping, lunching and taking in the sights.

As always, we offer a heartfelt thank-you to the folks at Canadian Pacific Railway and VIA Rail Canada for their assistance in making these events happen. A big thank you also goes to the volunteers of the Tri-Cities Share Society and Community Services , Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows Hamper Society, and Mission Christmas Burreau. We couldn't do it without you!

Please note that the schedule below is the same for both Dec 5 and Dec 12 Santa Trains. Please call customer service if you require additional information: 604-488-8906.
