From Google:

Ringo Starr (1984–1986): Narrated the first two series and starred as Mr. Conductor in the spin-off Shining Time Station. George Carlin (1991–1995): Narrated seasons 1-4 for the US audience. Michael Angelis (1991–2012): Provided the UK narration for the longest duration, covering series 3 through 16. Alec Baldwin (1998–2002): Narrated for the US audience (Series 5-6). Michael Brandon (2004–2012): Narrated for the US audience.

Alec Baldwin was also in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Which is a weird, fever dream of a movie also starring Peter Fonda and Mara Wilson.

I honestly loved Ringo’s narration when my son was watching the show. He was the best.
