Before passengers board the train at Pickering, they are given a flashing wristband that will synchronise with the onboard lightshow and music, and is sure to have guests singing and dancing in their seats. As if that wasn't enough, entertainment by the train's onboard compere, TV's ‘Voice Over Man', will make sure that everyone is in the mood to party, from the moment they enter the platform, spot their train, and then climb on board to enjoy the evening's events.
