Chuggington is currently streaming in the UK on Sky Go and BBC iPlayer, and it uses the format for more than just a visual hook. 6 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 30 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. A harder one to justify skipping than to start. Start it on Sky Go whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Chuggington is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The look of Chuggington gets people in the door, but the writing is what keeps them there. Koko, Brewster and Wilson are three young, adventurous trainee "chuggers", learning about working on the railway in the town of Chuggington, with the help of the railway controller, Vee, the older engines, and their human friends. Louis Wint and Jacks Dean bring more to it than the format typically demands. 6 seasons (2008–2021) gave the story room most shows never get. Chuggington uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Chuggington works for viewers who do not typically seek out animation too. Fans of Eek! The Cat will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The 6-season run rewards the patience it asks of you. The writing operates at a level the format's reputation does not fully prepare you for. Adult animation that actually works for adults.

Chuggington wrapped up in 2021, created by Sarah Ball — and 6 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
