* From the [[Series 9|ninth]] to [[Series 16|sixteenth]] series of [[Thomas & Friends]], drivers and [[firemen]] act almost purely as background characters and are very rarely, if ever acknowledged. Engines have on numerous occasions left their jobs without consulting their drivers (if they have any), when in reality, the driver would direct the engine where to go and what to do. But from the [[Series 17|seventeenth series]] onwards, drivers have been seen and spoke more often and have worked more realistically.

Main Page

There are two types of drivers which specialise in operating engines, buses and many other vehicles.

Engine Drivers


“I'd never go without my driver. I'd be frightened.”
Toby[src]


The engine drivers (sometimes called engineers in some US narrations) together with firemen, make up the crews that operate and maintain the engines on a railway. They keep their assigned engine in control and provide company, as well as a voice of reason when it is being difficult.


Uniform

A North Western Railway steam engine driver's uniform consists of dark blue trousers, a black tie, a white shirt with a blue jacket with light blue accents over it and a blue peaked cap. This dress code is the same for drivers on the Arlesdale Railway.

Diesel engine drivers wear a similar, though less formal, uniform, with the Vicarstown Dieselworks logo on the jacket and a brown cap.

The drivers on the Skarloey Railway wear the same outfits but in grey instead of blue.
