Thomas the Tank Engine

Nene Valley Railway says it will switch to diesel over the weekend to reduce the risk of fires.

There are concerns over a possible new development in the Fens, while a famous train was spotted.

The special trip marks 80 years since the talking steam engine was created by the Reverend W Awdry.

Sculptor Sean Hedges-Quinn says working on the show made him a "cool dad" with his children.

The test episode of the fictional talking train, voiced by Ringo Starr, arrives on YouTube on Friday.

Wilbert Awdry was inspired by hearing the sounds of trains whilst laying in bed as a young boy.

Elliott Garcia will be heard as Bruno the Brake Car alongside Thomas the Tank Engine.

This year is the 75th anniversary of the first book in the Rev W Awdry's Railway Series.
