Air Date: September 9th, 2014(UK)

Written By: Mark Huckerby and Nick Ostler

Summary

Marion was fixing an embankment on the mainline, but she also liked to tell stories, so Percy and Gordon avoided her. But soon Thomas came a long and she finished telling him a storie. After Thomas left, Marion burst a hole in a pipe, but she covered it was mud and left. The next day Thomas passed the same spot, then we went to the quarry.

Bill, Ben, and Marion were playing a game of guess what's in the shovel. Then Thomas took Marion to the leaky pipe. Then there was a small landslide, so Marion started to clean it up, but then Gordon came along with the express. Marion knocked a small rock of the track just in time to let him by.

That evening at the quarry Marion was felling a little silly, but Bill and Ben played another game of guess what's in the shovel, it turned out to be mud, again.

Review

Well, it seems like Marion is Emily's replacement character so far. This is a good episode, but why were the workmen laying down not inspecting Marion's work? Normally on a construction site there is a workmen standing by the shovel with a depth measuring stick. Over all the episode was still great, and I really like the sunset scenes.
