[Thomas groaning]
male narrator:
Bradford the brake van.
[laughter, chatter]
[Thomas grunting, groaning]
Ohh...
narrator:
The troublesome trucks
were being difficult again.
- Stop that, will you?
Leave your brakes off!
narrator:
While Thomas was struggling
to get them moving....
- [whistle toots]
- Samson arrived
from the Mainland.
- Hello, Thomas.
Are your trucks
being troublesome again?
- Ohh...very troublesome.
Oof...eek!
- My trucks
are very well-behaved.
[whistle toots]
[trucks giggling]
- Tut tut tut.
Those trucks of yours!
Disgraceful behavior.
I wouldn't put up with nonsense
like that.
- Oh? Hello.
And who are you?
- I'm Bradford.
Take me along with you,
and I'll show you how I deal
with troublesome trucks.
- Well. Okay, Bradford.
I do need a brake van.
My name's Thomas,
by the way.
- Couple me up
facing them, Thomas.
I need to keep an eye
on this bothersome bunch.
[whistle toots]
[trucks giggling]
[trucks giggling,
chattering]
- Right, you 'orrible lot!
I'm in charge now!
So no bumping,
and none of your cheek.
- Huh?! But we like bumping!
- Not on my watch, matey!
This is now a bump-free zone.
Oh, dear,
how sad, never mind.
When you're ready,
Thomas.

narrator: The other engines
thought Thomas
was lucky to be working with
such a wonderful brake van
as Bradford.

come on, come on!

were that well-behaved.

- Thanks, Owen.
Time to go!
[whistle toots]
narrator:
Then there was trouble.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[trucks muttering,
exclaiming]
- Bradford!
What's wrong?
- According to the official
Railway Safety Guideline Manual,
the level of stone in these cars
is millimeters too high.
- What?
- You'll have to
empty some of them out,
Thomas,
before I can allow you
to proceed.
- But...if I stop
to unload,
I'll be late!
- Thomas. Following the rules
is more important
than being on time.
- [sighs]
Ohh...
[ticking]
- Ohh...
[whistle toots]
Ah!
Thomas? You're very late.
Just leave those trucks,
go and fetch Annie and Clarabel,
and get back on schedule.
- Yes, sir.
[whistle toots]
- If you're not using
your new brake van, Thomas,
could I use him, please?
- Huh. Be my guest,
Whiff.
His name's Bradford.

[clang]
- Okay, Bradford.
Ready to roll?
[whistle toots]
- Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Stop right there!
- What? What's wrong?
- You're going nowhere
until these mucky cars
have cleaned themselves up!
- But they're only going to be
carrying dirty waste
to the Dump.
- No matter. A dirty car
is a disorderly car.
Now off to the Wash Down!
Hut, hut, hut!
Move it! Move it!
- Ohh...
[whistle toots]
narrator: And it wasn't just
Thomas and Whiff
who found themselves
delayed by Bradford.
- Hello, Bradford!
- Henry, I noticed
a tiny crack in your lamp.
That'll need to be replaced.
- But the Steamworks
is miles away!
I have my fish deliveries
to make.
- Safety always
comes first, Henry!
Even when fish are involved!
- [whimpers]
Ohh...
narrator: Henry came back
to the sheds late,
and all the engines
were sharing their stories
about Bradford,
the new brake van...
- And I was so late,
Sir Topham Hatt was furious.
- He was cross with me too.
And all because Bradford
made me drive really slowly
after he'd noticed
one leaf on the line.
- He keeps making us late
with all his silly rules
and regulations.
- And we keep getting in trouble
with Sir Topham Hatt.
- But we don't have to work
with him.
There are other brake vans
we can take!
[all sigh]
narrator:
But later that morning,
Thomas had to collect some more
stone from the Quarry...
- [gasps]
- And Bradford was
the only brake van available!
- Oh, no!
Not Bradford!
He'll just make me late again.
narrator: Rather than
get in more trouble,
Thomas decided
to slip off quietly
without a brake van!
[trucks giggling,
chattering]
- Thomas? Thomas!
[shouting]
Hold on!
I need...to speak to you!

This time, Sir Topham Hatt

Whoo!
Hoo hoo ha ha ha!
[trucks chattering]
narrator:
Then there was more trouble.
trucks: Push...push...
push!
- Whoa...Ohh!
[trucks shouting]
narrator: With too many rocks
and no brake van
to help him slow down,
Thomas couldn't stop!
- Percy!
- Thomas?
- Look out!

- Look out!
[metal screeching]
[bang]
- Oh!
Ohh...
[trucks snickering,

- Sorry, Percy.
narrator: Sir Topham Hatt
came to inspect
the scene of the accident...
But luckily,
there was no damage.
- Thomas,
what were you thinking?
Going off without a brake van?
- I'm very sorry, sir.
I just didn't want to be
late again.
- Oh, dear.
Following the rules and
regulations and staying safe
is far more important
than being on time, Thomas.
- That's what Bradford said.
I should have listened to him.
[whistle toots]
[whistle toots]
Hello, Bradford.
I'm sorry for ignoring you
when you called me before.
I was very silly to go off
without a brake van.
- Oh, uh...right.
But I wasn't calling you
about that, Thomas.
I was calling
to say good-bye.
- Good-bye?
- [clears throat]
It is with great regret that
I must inform of my decision
to leave this island.
I'm sorry to let you all down
when you're depending on me
in your time of need, but--
- You mean you're leaving?
- Please don't make a fuss.
I know how much
you all appreciate me.
Don't try to talk me out of it.
No sad faces, no tears.
I've made up my mind.
I'm going back with
my old pal, Samson.
[whistle toots]
- We make a great team,
Bradford and I.
- Well, naturally we'll all
miss you very much, Bradford.
- Absolutely.
- Terrible shame.
- Pity.
[giggles]
- [whistle toots]
See you next time
we're on Sodor.
- Bye!
- See you soon.
- Can't wait!
- Good luck!
[whistles tooting]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- [stammering]
W-w-w-w--
- No tooting whistles
whilst stationary!
[military cadence]
[chuckling]
Oh, all right then.
Just this once...
toot away!

narrator: After all
they'd been through,
the engines were quite happy
to say good-bye to Bradford
for a while...

And so were
the troublesome trucks.
