Drivers

The drivers, or often engineers in the US, drive and maintain the engines, and, along with the fireman, keep the engines in control and provide a voice of reason when the engine is being difficult.

A driver's uniform consists of blue pants, a white shirt, a black tie, with a blue jacket over it, and a blue cap.

Trivia

 * In newer episodes of Thomas and Friends drivers and firemen are rarely seen, if at all, and, if an accident happens, the engine is almost always blamed.
 * To date, five drivers have been named: Charlie Sand, Edward's driver, Ted, Henry's driver, and Bob, Thomas' driver in the CGI series. Mr. Awkright and Mr. Perkins are also engine drivers.
