[Stanley arrives late at Knapford Station after getting lost in taking a shortcut, making Gordon impatient before taking his passengers to Brendam Docks]
SStanley
Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. I took a shortcut, but I got lost.
[to Gordon and Stanley] Some very important passengers and a group of workmen are waiting at Great Waterton. The first engine to arrive will pick up the very important passengers. The second will collect the workmen.
SStanley
I need to get coal and water. See you at Great Waterton, Gordon! [chuffs cheerily away]
[Gordon races off to Brendam Docks to drop off Stanley's passengers, determined to arrive at Great Waterton first and pick up the very important passengers]
[seeing a bridge up ahead] Hooray. That must be the Great Waterton bridge.
[But as he puffs under the bridge, it was actually a repair yard where Oliver the Great Western Engine, and his break van, Toad, are having their wheels oiled]
No, thank you, I'm not lost. [chuffs quickly away; becomes more worried that his shortcut is taking too long; sees another bridge up ahead] Hooray. That's the Great Waterton bridge.
[But as he puffs under the other bridge, it's actually a logging station, which he'd never been there before]
I'm sorry, Stanley. This was all my fault. I wanted to take a shortcut. I wanted to pick up the very important passengers. But now I want you to collect them.
