The news article discusses the enduring popularity of railways, particularly the appeal of Thomas the Tank Engine among adult fans. The article notes that the writer, Rev David Gibson, has been a railway enthusiast for 65 years, though he is not a full-on Thomas the Tank Engine fan. The article also mentions that the writer's wife and he have worked as front-of-house staff at a heritage railway, where they have observed the attraction of railways for individuals with autism, especially young people. The article suggests that the predictability of railways, timetables, signals, and other associated elements is a key factor in their appeal.
