Does W have to be capitalized in with? If it doesn't, can I move it to Day Out with Thomas? TobytheTramEngine 19:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
Thomas the tank engine also operates on the Grand Canyon Railway. I know that he operates on the grand canyon railway. Added to Section: United States. -- 76.31.167.164 ( talk) 03:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
The requested 'fact' does, indeed, appear to be the case. HIT have tightened their regulations for the 2008 season, and appear to require CRB checks for all staff, including volunteers.
This forum thread, from November 2007, will shed a lot of light on the background to the situation, and some of the reasoning behind various heritage railways (including, significantly, NYMR and Bluebell railways) abandoning their Thomas events for 2008 (at least).
We DO have a suitable reference, from BBC News (29th Jan) (here) which may be added in due course. This also covers the associated issue of requiring Fat Controller characters to be 'trained'. (Ooh, sorry, that was a dreadful pun! Utterly unintentional...no, really!)
There may well be more refs available on-line, but I spent most of my research time reading that forum thread!

PS - see the most recent posts of the forum thread (end Jan 2008) for several more links to news stories. This is obviously a hot topic at present - time for a news bulletin at TSW methinks... EdJogg ( talk) 02:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
I just heard Thomas is coming to Eastleigh Lakeside Railway so why not add Mike there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CoxDavidcox111 ( talk • contribs) 16:21, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
