Summary

Thomas and Bertie were racing a lot again, but Thomas wondered why Bertie always won. Then Bertie explained that he was re-routed and had a shortcut.

Thomas thought he would find a shortcut on his branch line, but he got stuck down a siding and Harvey had to rescue him, so Bertie took his passengers. Then Thomas deiced that racing wasn't as important as his branch line, so he didn't go looking for shortcut's any more.

My Own Thoughts

It was nice to see Thomas and Bertie race again after them talking about doing it for so long. I was expecting that Harvey would have a  speaking roll in this episode, but it was just a cameo.
