[Narrator] Wayward Winston.

On the island of Sodor,

everyone agrees that it's very important

to keep the railway tracks in good and safe condition,

but sometimes tracks get damaged.

Then they become buckled and bumpy.

Trembling tenders!

This is the bumpiest track I've ever seen!

Wobbling wagons!

My packages are being bumped and bounced all over the place!

[Narrator] Thomas was taking Sir Topham Hatt

and his family on a visit to Ulfstead Castle

when they came to a very bumpy section of track.

Oh!

Thomas stop! Stop!

Cinders and ashes!

Hmmm, Oh dear.

This bumpy track must be repaired as soon as possible.

Carry on Thomas, but slowly now.

[Narrator] Soon workmen started repairing the bumpy track.

Each day Sir Topham Hatt came by in Winston,

his inspection car, to see how the work was progressing.

Oh!

Sorry, Winston

[Narrator] Sir Topham Hatt

was still not used to driving Winston.

Don't worry, Sir.

Early days, early days.

[Narrator] As he and Sir Topham Hatt had left for the day,

Winston was very patient.

Easy does it!

[Narrator] But Winston could hear the other engines

laughing at him as they went past.

Ha ha ha! Here comes wobbly Winston!

Stop start, start stop, make up your mind, Winston.

Ha ha ha!

[Narrator] The next day, Sir Topham Hatt and Winston

arrived again to inspect the work on the track.

Don't forget to put on my brake, Sir.

Ah yes, I was just going to do that, Winston.

[Narrator] Sir Topham Hatt was always

forgetting to put on the brake,

and Winston was always having to remind him.

What's going on, Winston?

You look sad.

Ugh, it's Sir Topham Hatt.

He's not a very good driver.

I expect he's still learning.

Well, I wish he'd learned a bit faster.

Sometimes I wish I could go off without a driver.

Don't be silly Winston, you need a driver.

Off we go, Winston! Good day Percy!

Goodbye, Sir!

[Narrator] Sir Topham Hatt drove on a little further.

He stopped again to inspect more repairs.

Uh don't forget to...

[Narrator] But this time

Winston didn't remind him to put on his brake,

and Winston started to roll forward.

Without my brake on I'm rolling on my very own.

Woohoo!

-[gasp] -No!

This is fun.

Winston!

Faster! Faster!

[Sir Topham Hatt] Winston come back here!

Thomas stop, stop!

Follow that inspection car!

Cinders and ashes!

Lets Go!

Wheee-hee!

Look at that, it's Winston!

And he has no driver!

[Sir Topham Hatt] Come back, Winston! Come back!

Young Winston is heading for trouble, big trouble.

[Narrator] Winston was having the time of his life.

He was rolling down the line all on his own,

but Thomas and Sir Topham Hatt weren't far behind.

Haha, no driver!

[Narrator] When the signalman saw

that Winston had no driver,

he tried to switch him off the mainline,

but he accidentally switched Thomas

and Sir Topham Hatt instead.

No, Thomas!

Not this way!

[Narrator] The signalman made an emergency call.

[Sir Topham Hatt] There he goes!

Faster Thomas, faster!

[Narrator] The second signalman received the message.

He switched Thomas back onto the mainline.

We're catching up, well done Thomas!

[Narrator] Meanwhile, Bertie was pulling up to a nearby crossing.

He didn't know Winston was coming.

-[gasps] -Oh no the gates!

Bertie!

Sorry Bertie, sorry!

Watch out Bertie, coming through!

[Sir Topham Hatt] Stay where you are Bertie, don't move!

Alright I won't move then, I wonder for how long?

[Narrator] Winston came speeding up to a junction,

when he saw Paxton up ahead.

Winston's signal turned red but he couldn't stop!

[Winston] Watch out Paxton!

Whoa!

[Narrator] Paxton put on his brakes.

He stopped just in time.

Woah!

I wonder what the big hurry is?

I don't like this anymore!

I wish I wasn't going so fast!

I wish I could stop!

I wish I had a driver!

[Narrator] Winston was racing towards Tidmouth sheds,

then was troubled, there were cars ahead

and Winston couldn't stop!

Oh no!

Help! I'm going to crash!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, now what's happening?

[Narrator] Winston was starting to slow down.

Slower and slower and slower

until he came to a stop.

What's happened? What's happened!

You've run out of gas, that's what happened!

Phew, I thought I was going to crash.

That was a very irresponsible going off without me,

and dangerous too.

But it wasn't all my fault, Sir.

I mean you forgot to put on the brakes Sir.

-Oh my! -Oh my!

I see.

Of course, you're absolutely right, Winston.

I should have put on the brake.

But I should have reminded you, Sir.

I realize now that I do need a driver

Oh well, no harm done Winston.

Early days, early days.

[Narrator] All the engines were happy

when the work on the line was finally finished.

New tracks, that's better.

So no more wobbling wagons?

No more shudders and shakes.

Unless you're Winston that is.

[Narrator] The engines all laugh, but Winston didn't mind.

He was glad to have Sir Topham Hatt

back in the driving seat, once again.
