My Week with 2010: All Aboard!

Madeline Fretz - You know the band Train? And you know Pat Monahan, their lead singer? And did you know he once voiced a cartoon character?

Yep. It’s true! On a show that aired on Sprout.


Driver Dan's Story Train is a British children's show about a lion (voiced by Peter Serafinowicz) who reads stories to his friends. 



The show came to Sprout on November 1, 2010, the day after Halloween, and the same day Liz Filios hosted her first Sunny Side Up Show. The titular character was now voiced by Monahan, which makes sense because the show was about trains. It aired at 6:30PM and 8:30PM ET on The Good Night Show. It was another show for parents complaining about GNS not having a turning point, as they could turn it off after this or Nina's Little Fables.

The show left on Halloween 2013, a day before the anniversary of its Sprout premiere. However, its Sproutonline.com page remained up.
