Thank goodness for the days of the Raj and Stevenson's Standard Gauge being used throughout the world. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own! |

Now in its 73rd year, Thomas And Friends has undergone a radical makeover in a bid to achieve gender equality and represent a more multicultural set of characters within the show.

I wonder when Thomas travels to India, will he have people clambering all over the carriages sitting on the roof etc

Or carry 28,000 tonnes of iron ore in 240 carrages. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

as someone who currently works for Network Rail, ive been following the Thomas the multicultural tank engine story with great interest and I must say I do find it deeply disturbing.

I wouldn't worry about all this change as Northern Rail are responsible for this makeover programme and it's running late, late, late, Cancelled.

I liked trains as much as the next 7 or 8 year old, but never “got” the attraction of Thomas etc.
