The Challenge (1998)

S2E15 Better Late Than Never

The Main Line's viaduct is under maintenance, and the Fat Controller is determined to keep the railway open. He instructs the mainline engines to proceed with caution while crossing. This causes delays for Thomas, who is on his way to meet Bertie, resulting in him arriving late. Frustration builds within Thomas, but as the day unfolds, he discovers that being tardy can have its silver linings.
