The railway tour stopped off at Eastbourne on Thursday, November 24 last year.
A Black 5 steam locomotive (LMS Black 5 44871) hauled the carriages through East Sussex, from London Victoria to Eastbourne, and then onto Hastings.
The festive train is also set to make a return this year on Wednesday, December 6, leaving London Victoria in the morning and travelling through Sussex throughout the day.
At about 1.47pm, the tour will stop off in Eastbourne, where the train will remain for a while as it is serviced. It will leave at about 3.26pm as it sets off for Hastings.
