The Rudolph Express will be galloping across the G:link network all festive season! Download the My G: app to track the Rudolph Express in real time. Simply look for the special Rudolph icon on the live trams network map to see where he’s travelling. Even Santa knows Rudolph needs a well-earned rest, so if you can’t spot him on the map, he’s likely taking a break and will be back on the network the next day. Don’t forget to tap on before you ride, you wouldn’t want to end up on Santa’s naughty list this Christmas!
