This article lists and details episodes from the eleventh series of this show, which was first broadcast in September 2007 and ended in January 2008. This series was narrated by Michael Angelis for the UK audiences, while Michael Brandon narrates the episodes for the US audiences.

Starting in this series, the theme song was sung by the children from the Thomas & Friends suite.
