Micheal was the best train driver shame he retired
He always had time to chat to every carriage while they waited for the other train.
Is this Thomas the Tank Engine driver job the best job in the world?
Over the past seven years Michael has worked on every ride in Drayton Manor Park’s Thomas Land

Just the 1 and Rosie was in the shed.
Found out they have got enough drivers now as they used Percy in the week as well as Thomas as with the school trips the park been busy but that’s why you have to pre book tickets and Annual passes so they know what food places need to be open and how many members of ride staff is needed so when it’s quiet it’s only 1 driver and a member of staff to cover there breaks.

I’m more confused as the girl who drove the trains last season and at the start of this season now works on the adventure cove rides.
The trains is a tough job with so much training needed but on the other hand so boring back and forth all day.

I would imagine it's probably because they are not as visible as the main engines themselves and also only hard-core Thomas fans and veterans of Drayton would know they have model series faces anyway.
To be honest I really don’t mind it. I quite like the fact that there’s something that looks the way I remember the thomas series being before becoming cgi. I was speaking about the thomas rides with my son and it was like a knife to the heart when he said that the original series wasn’t real because it was toys.
