Exclusive: Hit Entertainment on Railway Stories return

Hit Entertainment have discussed candidly the renewal of The Railway Stories audiobooks.

The seventh volume in the Rev. W. Awdry adapted audios is in the planning stages under new owners Random House Audio.

Speaking to Roll Along Thomas in April, a spokesperson for Hit expressed their enthusiasm for the continuation.

We are very excited about the return of the Thomas & Friends Railway Stories. However, we are still in discussions with other audible partners and therefore unable to share more at this time.

In October 2013, the series' future encountered a bleak phase when former producers AudioGO entered administration before Random House's subsidiary took over the BBC arm a few months later.

The next volume, chronologically, will have Mountain Engines, Very Old Engines and Main Line Engines being told.
