FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The CP Holiday Train will be making its way to London next Wednesday, December 2. While it’s in town, Richmond Street between Pall Mall and Piccadilly will be closed to traffic. The closure will be in effect from 8 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.

The CP Holiday Train, known as the ‘magical train of lights’ is stopping in London to raise awareness, money and food for the London & Area Food Bank. It’s due to stop at the CP tracks on Richmond Street between Pall Mall and Piccadilly at 8:15 p.m.

When the train stops, a stage will open up facing southbound and Londoners will be treated to a performance from exceptional Canadian musical talents. This year’s headliners are alternative rock band The Odds and blues-rocker Shaun Verreault.

A tradition every year at this time, this is the third year London has been treated to the Holiday Train at the Richmond Street location. Everyone is invited to come out Wednesday night, and bring non-perishable food donations for the London & Area Food Bank.
