Thomas, James, and Henry - Disappointed


The Fat Controller has overlooked Sodor Island's outdated steam powered transport system and dilapidated infrastructure. Instead he has turned his attention to Walthamstow.

WALTHAMSTOW Central Station is set to be transformed under plans for £500m investment by Network Rail and construction firm Kier. Working together under the name Solum Regeneration, [clearly a front for the Fat Controller and Naughty Diesel] the companies plan to regenerate stations across south-east England.

Walthamstow Central is one of seven stations that will be among the first to get an overhaul.
Plans have not yet been unveiled, but the partnership is hoping to create retail developments close to the stations to help with the regeneration. [This will include re-landscaping much of the surrounding area with trees and bushes made from painted sponge, and the farming of cotton wool sheep]

A public consultation [hosted by Ringo Starr] on the plans for Walthamstow Central will take place later this month, but a date has not yet been confirmed.
