Kingston Flyer Steam Train

05/02/2023

We have a name! Freddy the Fairlight Flyer 😀

There were so many great choices that it took us a whole week to pick a name! Freddy will be out to meet everyone later in the year, some time near the next school holidays 👍

Congratulations to the winner Michelle, we will contact you via PM.

COMPETITION: The Kingston Flyer is looking for a new name for our steam engine when we put the little cartoon face on it. Can you help us choose a name?

As we do not have the intellectual property rights to ‘Thomas the tank engine’ we need to use a new name. Please put your suggestions in the comments below and we will pick a winner. The winner gets a free family pass on the Kingston Flyer....

GO! 🚂🚂🚂🚂 ...

Edit: This is not to replace ‘The Kingston Flyer’ name, it’s only for when the face is on the train 👍
