CHILDREN with a passion for trains can now learn everything they want to know about the UK rail network with the launch of www.trakkies.co.uk.

The website is aimed at 7 to 11 year-olds and provides them with an interactive site that covers all aspects of today's rail network.

History, fun and train zones contain information on fictional trains such as the Hogwarts Express, crosswords, train bingo and colouring-in pictures for use on and off the train.
