 Air Date: September 8th, 2014

Written By:  Davey Moore

Summary

Duncan was at the station picking up his passengers, then Rheneas came, and Duncan told him that he had a wobbly wheel and a grumpy passenger. This passenger complained about everything wrong he could think of. At the next station Duncan told Peter Sam about his grumpy passenger.

The next day Duncan got some extra coaches, but he didn't know that they were Skarloey's coaches. Now Skarloey couldn't take his passengers. As Duncan was leaving he saw some workmen waving a flag, but he didn't stop to help. The next morning Duncan's passenger was late, and this held everyone else up, including Skarloey.

Duncan passed the workmen again, and then at the last station Mr Percival was there, he told Duncan that the passenger was always grumpy, so Mr. Percival said to ignore the grumpy passenger and do his work properly. That evening at the station Duncan was happy, and he told Rheneas that he was going to change and stop being grumpy over the passenger. But son after he left the station Duncan was grumpy again.

Review

This was a great episode, and Duncan hasn't been seen much at all in the CGI series, so it's nice that he had a good roll in an episode. I really like the animation on the sunset's in these new episode's as well.
