Ravensburger’s BRIO brand is launching an official London Underground train thanks to a partnership with Transport for London.
This is the first BRIO product to carry the TfL logo and the train will come complete with figures, tunnel and a London Underground sign. Lights and sounds are activated when the train is pushed.
The train will join the brand’s ‘Trains of the World’ series. This line is made up of iconic locomotives, including trains inspired by the TGV INOUI and InterCity Express thanks to partnerships with SWNF and Deutsche Bahn.
“Our underground network is known across the world and this new addition to our Trains of the World series will enable fans to bring to life their railway adventures in authentic style,“ said Elaine Connell, BRIO product manager, Ravensburger UK.
The BRIO Trains of the World London Underground train will be available in the UK from March this year.
