Meanwhile the Isle of Man Government announced at the end of last month it was the end of the line for themed days on Manx railways based on the popular Thomas characters

It was put down to increased licensing fees to hold the days. Instead, the Department of Community, Culture and Leisure will stage Family Fun Days over the weekend of August 6-7.


I find it interesting to note that the price point of Thomas licensing has maxxed-out at this very appropriate location to hold a Thomas event. I wonder how often this has happened in the US. Perhaps only the mega-museum locations, which can handle the massive throngs of suburban children and their doting parents, will be where these will be held.
