A STUNNING steam train will be travelling through the Hampshire countryside in a blaze of glorious colour as the popular Steam Illuminations event has returned to the Watercress Line.
From November to January visitors can ride the colourful Steam Illuminations train, which features a constantly changing display of colourful computer-controlled LED lights outside and inside the heritage steam train.

As well as the popular family train rides, the last train of the day has been turned into a party train complete with DJ for the over-18s only.
Watercress Line CEO Amanda Squires said: “We can’t wait to brighten up the dark winter nights with our breathtaking Steam Illuminations and the brand-new Steam Illuminations Party Mix trains this festive season. It will be a wonderful experience and is sure to get everyone in the mood for Christmas."
