Summary

It was night time at Tidmouth sheds, and Percy was excited because he was going to deliver the mail to Ulfstead castle for the first time, but James wanted to play a trick on Percy. He told him there was a phantom express at Ulfstead castle, but once Percy got there Stephen told him there wasn't any ghosts.

Now Percy knew James was joking, and this made James cross, so he tried playing more tricks on them. When Percy got back to Ulfstead castle James blue steam, and Percy thought it was the phantom express. Then Stephen fell for James' trick to, and he got so scared that he fell in the dry mote.

Then Percy fell in the mote to. Then James came, so Percy and Stephen blew there whistles and James fell for his own joke and went to tell Sir Top Ham Hatt about the ghost. Sir Top Ham Hatt went and the engines were soon rescued. Sir Top Ham Hatt was cross with James, so he had to pull the mail to Ulfstead castle every night for a month.

My Own Thoughts

This episode was funny, and I noticed that Stephen is always helping engines find out there problems. It was nice to see a night time theme episode again like The Ghost Engine.
