YORK youngsters have shared their ideas about the future of rail travel in Britain.

Children from Park Grove Primary School boarded the Train Of Thought to take their imaginative ideas to London.

Pupils travelled to the capital from York Station to join other schoolchildren from around the country in the capital.

Organised by the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), the special train service helped launch www.trakkies.co.uk - the first educational website for children covering all aspects of rail travel. Their plans for the stations and trains of the future were presented to a senior representative from the rail industry at London's King's Cross station.
