Duck and Oliver went back to Knapford, surprised to see Bulgy there taking all there passengers, and calling him self a railway bus. Duck and Oliver fallowed him on his "Short Cut ". They soon reached a bridge, and there was a man waving a red flag. Duck saw Bulgy under the bridge, wedged in firmly. The passengers said that Bulgy lied to them, and said he was a railway bus. Duck took the passengers home, and Bulgy was turned in to a hen house by the bridge.

Review

This episode was a little funny. It should have been named"Short Cut to Disaster". Why didn't the bridge just fall in front of Bulgy? In a latter episode, Bulgy is restored, and used as a veggie stand. 

Over all I give this episode a 4/10
