BARTLETT — Following the announcement that Believe in Books Literacy Foundation had canceled its popular "Journey to the North Pole" train ride, several ticket-holders have voiced their ire at the non-profit's decision to hang on to their ticket money and grant vouchers for a future year’s runs rather than issuing refunds.
A.O. Lucy, executive director of the Intervale-based foundation, said the ticket policy was announced last summer in recognition that pandemic-related restrictions could lead to the cancellation of the holiday excursion ride that is loosely based on the book “The Polar Express.” And in fact, the excursions were canceled last week.
