From this season onwards, the series will be directed by David Baas.
This will be the first season to be written by current head writer, Andrew Brenner.
This is Mark Moraghan's first season as narrator.
Five episodes from the upcoming DVD 'Railway Mischief', and two others based from the 2013 Wooden Railway sets, 'Santa's Little Engine' and 'Sidney's Holiday Special' were the evidence of the currently revealed episodes airing for Series 17 in Autumn 2013 the two being Santa's Little Engine and New Wheels For Sidney (Possibly working title for The Missing Christmas Decorations).
