Down at the Station

Down at the Station is a series of informative segments featured on Thomas and Friends DVDs in the UK and in between episodes on television in the US. They feature scenes of real railways hard at work, show what passengers do during their trip, or tell what the different people who work on the railway do.

The segments were filmed at the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway and the Llangollen Railway.

The segments are produced by Leighton Cheal and directed by Ben Hall.

Goofs

 * At the end of "Whistle", the camera on top of the engine's roof gets knocked over by a tree branch.
 * During "Fireman", a camera crane and a cameraman are seen.
 * When the driver first uncouples the engine in "The End of the Line", the locomotive is facing away from the carriages, but in the next shot the locomotive is facing towards the carriages (its reflection in the carriage window).
