Smiley Sam is back - coming to a Luton road near you soon in support of Keech Hospice.

"It wouldn't be Christmas without Smiley Sam so we’re delighted Smiley and Santa are able to get out this year to visit a street near you. Santa’s elves have worked tirelessly to ensure everyone stays safe during their visits this December," said a spokesman for the Luton based hospice.

The little train did run a reduced service last year because of coronovirus restrictions but will be back in action this year, helping with fundraising for Keech.
