Hi All,

Whilst watching a number of back to back episodes of Thomas with my 2 year old son, it occured to me what an appauling safety record the Island Of Sodor railways have. I mean, every episode there's a train coming off the track or some other rail incident occurring.

In my opinion, the Fat Controller should be charged with corporate manslaughter, or be heavily fined by HSE for non-compliance of the railways at a minimum.

I mean, Sodor must be a massive island to require such a big extensive rail network. If you're ever visiting Sodor, my advice is walk! It's safer. You've been warned!!! :shock:

Need to get my daughter into this. Just invested in a Duplo train set. Pretty smart. She seems to like driving it off the end of tables...... So Sodor would be about right..... :wink:
