Thomas' Birthday Party

23rd & 24th June at 10.30, 12.15 & 14.00

Join Thomas and help him celebrate his birthday aboard his special Party train at his station - Yarwell

In 1971 the Rev. W. Awdry named a little blue locomotive No. 1800 "Thomas".at Peterborough, where he had been all his working life and now that he is here at the Nene Valley Railway he remains within the city.

'Thomas' Birthday Party is the time for the children to come along, bring their mums and dads, grandmas and granddads or any grown up who might like to 'muscle in' on the day. Once here everyone can be hauled by Thomas on his own special Birthday Train to his new station at Yarwell where the party is being held. Once there they will be entertained by a clown, while enjoying their 'goodie bag'. There will also be the chance to sing Thomas a 'Happy Birthday' and have a photograph taken with Thomas himself. After the party travel on the main line train behind one of Thomas' bigger mates.

This will be a very special weekend for Thomas and all his many friends !!!
