A heritage LED locomotive decked with fully controllable colour mixing lights has started to welcome passengers on board for a world first Christmas spectacle.

It comes after the S-15 freight locomotive, which is one of two steam trains on the Mid Hants Railway s Watercress Line, was left unable to run for four months and lost more than £1million in revenue amid the coronavirus pandemic.
