THIS incredible drone picture captured by photographer Chris Gorman of Big Ladder Photography shows a train steaming across the Hampshire countryside. 

The train is on the historic Watercress Line, which runs from Alton to Alresford, and has been decorated with lights for its Steam Illuminations event. 

Visitors can ride the colourful train, which features a constantly changing display of colourful computer-controlled LED lights inside and outside, while enjoying drinks, snacks and entertainment on board.

As well as the popular festive family train rides, this year the last train of the day has been turned into a party train complete with DJ for the over-18s only. 

Watercress Line CEO Amanda Squires said: “We can’t wait to brighten up the dark winter nights with our breathtaking Steam Illuminations and the brand-new Steam Illuminations Party Mix trains this festive season. It will be a wonderful experience and is sure to get everyone in the mood for Christmas."

The service runs until January 7.
