Mr Rails

Mr Henry Rails is the Underground's mechanic, carrying out odd jobs across the Underground when needed. He's in his sixties and has been working on International Underground for over 25 years, He is voiced by Howard Ward.

Persona

Mr Rails is lovable, friendly, loyal and very practical. Mr Rails was born in Lancashire but in a few years later he came to work at International Underground and became an engineer who was always fixing things in his repair workshop. He's always tinkering about with things to make them work again, preferring to "mend than spend". No job is too big or small for him, whether fixing up trains or clearing the line of rubbish, he does it with a smile. From the Multi-Tooled Maintenance Machine to a set of windchimes, his creativity knows no bounds and always comes in handy. His motto has always been "Mr Rails never fails!"

Attire
