Yeah only 1 train today. Not sure what’s up with Rosie but last time it was only on 1 train it was staffing issues.

I just spoke to staff and the reason it’s on 1 train is the lack of staff to drive them. They currently only got 3 members of staff who can drive them with 1 been on holiday and the other been the cover driver on breaks.
Also Percy is still on site but his in the shed with Rosie on the rails. They hope to get more drivers trained ready for the main summer season.

Nice too see Percy hope we'll see him often as the last time I saw him running and last time I saw him was in 2019
I wish Rosie was still in her pink livery and not red

Isn’t that her colour in the cartoon?

Her original colour was pink from season 10 too the movie journey beyond so sorry she was given a red to make her a "tom boy" But I wish the park kept her how she was

The model train version of her is still pink

I think that's because they can't change the models. They have to stay in the state they were in season 12 I think.

To be honest to this season the looping group didn’t really care about the model with many of the items and trains not working.

And they really should as it's not just a Hornby going around a layout it's the original Thomas models and they seem to have been treated like a take n play
I just released how small Percy's buffers are

I think this is probably because they wanted to wait until they moved the Exhibition, which has a new layout, to get new models along with it.

This staffing issues are getting crazy as the queues today were long Thomas land end.

Is it purely staffing? My old Dad would have loved to have driven that up and down all day. and half of his old mates would have been the same. Of all the rides I'd think that'd be the easiest to get staff for. Albeit they wouldn't want to operate anything else, except maybe polperro.

I think they will really benefit from the raised walkway if plans go through.
