CHRISTMAS AT THE TAYLORS FOR 2011-2012

EACH YEAR WE ADD TO THE LIGHTS AND 2011/12  WAS NO EXCEPTION AS WE WENT 102,651 LIGHTS. SOME PARTS OF THE DISPLAY ARE CHANGED EACH YEAR WHILE MANY FEATURES STAY THE SAME. ABOUT14 ARCHES GOT NEW MORE COLOURFUL LIGHTS FOR 2011.  THIS IS THE VIEW FROM THE BACK YARD LOOKING THROUGH A RE-LIGHTED ARCH LOOKING SOUTH EAST. 

STARTING DURING THE 2009 SEASON THE "Q" AREA IN FRONT OF THE STATION GOT MORE LIGHTING AND EVEN A FEW MORE WERE ADDED FOR 2012. ALMOST 17,000 RIDERS FILLED THROUGH THIS AREA TO GET THEIR CHRISTMAS TRAIN RIDE.
