So, just one weekend to go before we shut up shop at Bridgnorth and decamp to Arley for three weekends of festive cheer, twinkling lights, excited children, live music, and keeping the pressie boxes filled.
It's a wonderful place to be - constant action, movement, sounds, and an enormous contrast to the now-rather-dreary, end-of-season, diminished timetable that we've had to conclude on, with trains running semi-fast to Bewdley, calling at Hampton Loade and Arley, and who's going for the next cup of tea to keep us warm.
The fast-paced half-hourly service of santa trains will actually be a pleasant lift after the last few weeks, and there's still time to chat, drink cup-a-soup in the pway hut, and clap to the band, in between the vital jobs of filling-and-refilling the postbags with pressies, 'elfing' along the grotto(s), and moving passengers along the queuing marquee, platform and bridge.
If you haven't already signed up, there's still time - a variety of jobs, good conditions, good fun, lots of laughs, and a great way to share the festive spirit with fellow volunteers - dozens of them.
