Andrew Lloyd Webber

Andrew Lloyd Webber is an English musician and composer, who worked on an animated pilot for a proposed television series based on The Railway Series in the 1970s. Following Granada TV's decision not to greenlight the series, he would go on to write Starlight Express, which would take some inspiration from The Railway Series in its concept.
