Three children, one railway, endless adventures.

When Bobbie, Peter, and Phyllis's father mysteriously vanishes one night, their comfortable London life is turned upside down. Suddenly forced to move to a tiny cottage in the countryside, the children must face a world that feels scary and unfamiliar.

But then they hear the thunderous roar of steam engines! Right behind their new home runs a magnificent railway line where massive trains thunder past every day. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes the adventure of a lifetime as the children discover that the railway holds the key to friendship, excitement, and maybe even the answers they've been searching for.

From waving to the mysterious old gentleman on the 9:15 train to befriending Perks the porter and the kind Station Master, the children find themselves at the center of daring rescues, heartwarming friendships, and incredible adventures. But through every thrilling moment, one question burns in their hearts. Will they ever see their beloved father again?

AI narration is terrible

This is lovely story ruined by AI narration. There is hardly any inflection, emotion or pauses. I hope audible is not considering using AI in the future.
