Network Rail and Thomas the Tank Engine have joined together to help young children learn about staying safe around the railway. This is the first time a Thomas and Friends™ book has covered a rail safety theme.
​
This brand new book sees Thomas on an exciting adventure around railway tracks, stations and level crossings – and he learns that staying safe is much more important than going fast or being silly!

Peter’s Railway is an intriguing story about Peter and his Grandpa building and operating a miniature steam railway on a farm.
The books are written by Christopher Vine, a Chartered Engineer who loves railways and anything mechanical or electrical. They are his way of passing on his love and knowledge of engineering to today’s youngsters.
