Driver Dan's Story Train (Arabic: Captain Karim Qitar Al Hekayat (Captain Karim and the Story Train)) is a children's television series created and designed by Rebecca Elgar and is a co-production between Two Four 54 in the United Arab Emirates and 3Line Media in the United Kingdom.1 It marked the first CGI animated/live-action property to be produced in both English and Arabic, which each have its own separate versions of the program.
The series debuted on CBeebies and Al Jazeera Children's Channel on 9 January 2010. It was shown by Sprout, CBeebies, and ABC2. The characters in the series are all plush toys, except for Milly and Lilly, who are paper cutouts of flamingo-like birds, The Vrooms, who are two small egg-shaped vehicles, and the Counting Sheep, who are cubical bricks painted to represent sheep. Each character, or pair of characters (except for Driver Dan and Twinkle) has their own train carriage which can be hitched to the Story Train. The audience (sometimes seen as several children, but usually represented by the camera's viewpoint and a child's voice) are sometimes asked for their opinion or choice on matters arising.

Get the Great! Cant wait for training!mug. A classic "train" with zero entry requirements and very easy to qualify, but conducted at a risky location where getting caught will be very costly.
"It wasn't just a train bro it was a Hall Train!" To which a common reply might be: " oh snap! Did you get caught?"

Get the Hall Trainmug. Derisive term for a sizable number of acquaintances of someone with a dubious reputation who make praising statements about the individual's character/morals, offer to co-sign a loan he's requesting, etc., but who are of comparably-questionable integrity themselves, are also broke, etc., and so their own word and/or reliability is viewed as not being much more of a legitimate guarantee than the promises of the person they're vouching for. In other words, "quantito, but not qualito"... lots of impressive-looking "containers", but with no actual/tangible/legitimate "goods" inside of said containers.
Loan officer: I always feel really wary/suspicious whenever someone of unknown/questionable reputation asks for a loan and offers to bring in a number of other folks to vouch for his character, reliability, and financial responsibility --- "methinks he doth protest too much", plus usually his so-called "witnesses" appear to merely be an "empty-boxcars train of assurers"... they seem no more trustworthy than I would view the loan-requester himself as being, and so their voluminous praise/recommendations hold little significance and inspire little confidence in me regarding whether the loan-requester would actually possess adequate means/motivation/dedication to repay the money. I feel something like how the lady-attorney in "Losing Isaiah" did when she pointed out that the members of the "support group" whom ex-druggie/shoplifter Khaila had named as the people who were assisting her in her efforts to "go straight" and "live clean" had themselves all been former drug-users and/or criminals, and so she felt that they should not be considered to be viable/reliable helpers to prevent Khaila from relapsing.
