Allocations are up, looks like a set swap at Aberdare from Rudolph + set XM25 to 800RTT (clicking on either with RTT+, neither work)

Good representation of cattle wagons for the reindeer, but why a 1938 tube stock car (I think) for the support vehicle?

Santa wanted a 442 driving car but they got cut up so he settled for a 1938 trailer

Does anyone know the reason for the set swap? Is the original set in need of attention at North Pole IEP (Intercity Express Presents) depot?

Looks like it's got to Watford Junction a little early! Not sure why Traksy shows 1X01 on Plat 11 while it's shown as plat 9 on RTT.
Image shows a screenshot from Traksy of Watford Junction, with 1X01 in Platform 11. Platforms 10-6 contain a Merry Christmas message and platfroms 4-1 show "STBL" (probably stabled LO units)
Image shows a screenshot from Realtime Trains of the Christmas Special (1X01) showing "At Platform" next to Watford Junction with an alteration to Platform 9.

Looking at the data the signallers interposed 1X01 into plat 9 at 21:55 then moved it to plat 11 at 21:59 when they put the rest of the Christmas message in. I wonder if they put 1X01 becuase of the RTT special?

Surely, I can't think of any other reason.
Looks like Watford Junction's the only one to have a platform change.

I think the signallers are definitely having some fun, there's a few more on the stations near Watford Junction now

Maybe Santa wanted to show off their livery suggestion....
Are those a lot of red noses on Traksy or are the signals set at red!!
After the announcement early in the month of the GBR livery, we were discussing it at RTT Towers and jokingly thought that we could do a better job. So we asked our usual KYT designer to use their imagination and that is what they produced, in one evening.
We even have a suburban variant on a 387.
