00:00The Railcar and the Coaches
00:07Daisy is a diesel railcar, the only one in all of Sodor.
00:15That means she can carry passengers without having to pull any coaches.
00:22Daisy works on the branch line that runs all the way up to the holiday town of Harwick.
00:29But as the summer season came to an end, not so many passengers wanted to be beside the seaside.
00:44One day, the Fat Controller arrived with a message.
00:58Thomas, I'm putting you to work taking trucks to and from the quarry for a while.
01:03And Daisy, I'm putting you back on Thomas' branch line.
01:11The following morning, Annie and Clarabel were both ready and waiting for Daisy to collect them.
01:18You two are not needed today. You can stay right where you are.
01:23What?
01:24No!
01:25Thomas' passengers will be so pleased when they're picked up by a highly sprung diesel railcar.
01:33How much more comfortable this is, they'll say, than the usual lumpy, bumpy O.
01:41Hey, Daisy, you should be nicer to Annie and Clarabel. One day you may need them.
01:47Not me, Thomas.
01:49I'm a diesel railcar. I never need coaches.
01:54Really?
01:56Perfectly awful.
01:58Oh, don't listen to Daisy. You're both really useful. And at least you've got each other.
02:06Thomas is right, Annie. We've got each other for company.
02:11And I'd rather be stuck in this shed than be pulled along by a dreadful diesel.
02:17Shall we play I Spy?
02:19But I can't see what you see.
02:21I'll give you a hint. It's something that begins with an S.
02:31Is it snow?
02:34Yes.
02:40Meanwhile, Thomas' usual passengers enjoyed travelling on a diesel railcar for the first time.
02:52Oh, what a smooth ride.
02:55I'm highly sprung, you see.
02:58Tip-top and thoroughly modern.
03:03That evening, Daisy continued to be unkind to Annie and Clarabel.
03:09Oh, are you two still here?
03:14How dolly it must be for you.
03:17How dolly it must be for you.
03:20I can go anywhere I like, but you have to wait for an engine to come along.
03:26So old-fashioned and out-of-date.
03:29And near-barbel coaches.
03:32That's just rude.
03:38But Daisy spoke too soon.
03:42Daisy, you're proving very popular on Thomas' branch line.
03:46Oh, thank you, sir. I do my best.
03:50Then you won't mind picking up Annie and Clarabel so you can carry more passengers.
04:02Daisy did need Annie and Clarabel.
04:07She was too proud to apologise.
04:11But Annie and Clarabel had a plan.
04:20Can you hear a rattling, Annie?
04:23Yes, Clarabel. Is it you?
04:26Oh, it's not me.
04:29Well, it certainly isn't me.
04:32I wonder where it's coming from, that rattling.
04:36I don't know. I can't hear it now for all the creaking.
04:41Creaking? What creaking?
04:44Oh, yes. Sounds like rusty springs.
04:48A perfectly dreadful noise.
04:51Terribly grating. Oh, it's going right through me.
04:55I'm surprised the passengers haven't complained.
04:58Not fit for purpose.
05:00Something very wrong.
05:02A ghastly noise.
05:03Never heard the like?
05:05Good for school.
05:13Annie and Clarabel's plan worked a little too well.
05:18Everybody off! Everybody out!
05:22I need to speak to a professional.
05:27Daisy's passengers complained to the station master and told him what a bad railway it was.
05:36I just saw Daisy rush by. Why did she leave you here?
05:40She had to speak to a professional.
05:43A professional? What about?
05:46Her highly sprung springs.
05:50Well, she can't just abandon you and her passengers like this.
05:54I'm going to have a word with the Fat Controller.
05:59I honestly don't think there's anything wrong with you, Daisy.
06:03But Annie and Clarabel said I was grating.
06:07And I can't hear anything.
06:10Well, no. No. So that means...
06:14I must have a problem with my hearing as well.
06:18I'm off to the dieselworks to find me fitter.
06:23I'm off to the dieselworks to find me fitter.
06:29Thomas, what have Annie and Clarabel been saying to Daisy?
06:33I don't know. But Daisy has been rude to them since she first arrived.
06:38And abandoning them in Maithwaite? That's going too far.
06:42Hmm.
06:46It was dark and it looked like Annie and Clarabel
06:50were going to be left at Maithwaite overnight.
07:01Thomas! Have you come to take us back to our shed?
07:05I'd like a word with you two.
07:08It seems that someone has been putting ideas into Daisy's head.
07:13She's been at the dieselworks all evening
07:16and a fitter says there's nothing wrong with her.
07:21Do you two have anything to say about this?
07:25Um, two wrongs don't make a right.
07:29Precisely. Just because Daisy was unfriendly
07:33that doesn't mean you should be unkind in return.
07:37I expect better from the both of you.
07:40Sorry, sir.
07:49The next day, Annie and Clarabel were ready to apologise to Daisy.
07:55But Thomas arrived instead.
07:58Well, I've got good news and bad news.
08:01The good news is Daisy has gone back to her usual branch line,
08:05so she won't be taking you out today.
08:08Thomas! That means...
08:11You're back!
08:13Well, that's just it.
08:15The bad news is I'm still on quarry duty.
08:19The Fat Controller has sent a different engine to pull you two.
08:24Hello, ladies.
08:28SHE SOBS
08:33So poor Annie and Clarabel had to spend the entire day
08:38with dirty, devious diesel.
