New for 2026, Santa's Premium Train Ride is the New Hope Railroad's upgraded Santa train: an approximately 60-minute round trip from the historic New Hope Train Station toward Lahaska through Bucks County. Christmas music plays on board, Santa and Mrs. Claus visit every family and stay longer than on the standard North Pole Express, roaming musicians perform, and each child receives a sleigh bell. Riders get a cookie and unlimited hot chocolate, and choose reserved bench seating in Coach or a reserved table in First Class. Children can also hand a letter to the New Hope Express Agent for a small keepsake and later receive a mailed reply with a return ticket. Pajamas are welcome; rubber-soled shoes are recommended for walking between cars, and the historic cars are not fully accessible, although a ramp is available from the high-level platform. Departure dates, times and fares appear only in the online booking system, and departures can sell out.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
Read via Cloudflare Browser Run (newhoperailroad.com answers 403 to curl); the Santa's Steam Train Ride URL renders the Santa's Premium Train Ride page. No dates are printed on the page — they appear only in the booking flow — so this is recorded as a program without dates.
