Summary

It was a busy summer day on Sodor, and Sir Topham Hatt was worried about all the visitor's getting to there destination's on time. Latter that night Duck stayed at the shed's with the engine's. And Duck told the engine's how he used slip coaches on the Great Western Railway when it was busy.

Then Sir Topham Hatt came to the shed's to tell the engine's about the busy day tomorrow. James told Sir Topham Hatt about the slip coaches and how they could help. So the next morning at the shed's there were three slip coaches that had come from the main land. James happily pulled them away.

When James got to the first station and released the coach, he didn't listed to Duck about not slowing down, so the coach bumped in to him. The coaches no longer wanted James to pull them and wouldn't move. Sir Topham Hatt came and realized that it was Duck who told them about the slip coaches. So Duck took the train and everyone got to there destination's.

Review

Wow, never heard of slip coaches before, interesting. It was funny that Emily was kicked out the Tidmouth Shed's twice because of Duck staying there. I hope that the slip coaches will be released in all the toy format's next year. One problem is how do the episode's go from winter to mid summer? You would think they would connect, but I guess not. Over all a great episode.
