Good morning, everybody!
- Good morning, Nia.
- Hi, Nia.
- Isn't it a beautiful day?
- Personally, I prefer clouds.
[whistles]
- What's the matter
with Gordon?
- He's still upset about Edward
moving out of the sheds, Nia.
[whistles]
- And about me moving in.
- [tooting faintly]
[whistles]
- Did you ask him, Henry?
- What did he say?
- He said yes!
He thinks it's a good idea.
- Enough of
this chitter-chattering!
Aren't one of
you little engines
supposed to
bring me my coaches?
[all giggling]
[brisk music]
- Good morning again, Gordon!
- [gasps]
You don't usually
bring me my coaches.
- Gordon, don't be so rude.
Nia is a very welcome addition
to our railway.
Apologize right now.
- Sorry, Nia.
But, please, sir,
why can't Edward come back?
Edward is supposed to sleep
in Tidmouth Sheds.
- Oh, honestly, Gordon!
How many times do I need
to go over this?
Edward sleeps in the sheds
at Wellsworth now.
It's right at the start
of his branch line.
- And Sir Topham Hatt says
I can stay in the sheds
in Vicarstown from now on!
- What?
[echoing]
What? What?
[birds cawing]
When did this happen?
Nobody told me!
Y-you can't move Henry
as well, sir!
Why don't you just--just go
ahead and change everything!

Shall I push my coaches
from now on
instead of
pulling them, sir?
- Gordon!
- Come on, Annie and Clarabel!
- Gordon!
- Let me take you on Thomas's
branch line for a change.
Sir Topham Hatt
is changing everything!
- No, Gordon!
- What are you doing?
[wild music]
- You can take
the express, Nia!
I'm going to shunt cars
in the yard.
Sir Topham Hatt wants
to change everything!
- Gordon, I've had quite enough
of this nonsense!
- Hurry up, Paxton!
I'm going to fill up
with diesel for a change.
- Really? I thought steam
engines filled up with steam.
- First, Edward
leaves Tidmouth Sheds,
and now Henry's
moving out, too.
Oh!
Maybe now Edward can come back!
- But, Gordon, what about
your diesel fuel?
- Well, Edward?
What do you think?
- Thanks for asking, Gordon,
again...
But I'm very happy
at Wellsworth.
- Uh-oh!
You'd better hurry
back to Knapford
and collect
your coaches, Gordon!
Sir Topham Hatt says
you're causing...
both: Confusion and delay!
- Wow, Philip, how did you
make your voice do that?
- You are usually one of my
most sensible engines, Gordon.
But today you're being
very silly indeed!
If you're not going
to pull the express,
then you can go back
to your shed.
- Fine, sir, I will!

I don't mind if I stay
in Tidmouth Sheds

everything if he wants to.

the Northwestern Railway

Almost everything

I'm in a new country

[bell ringing]
[whistles]
Do you ever find it difficult
when things change
or you have to get used
to something new?
I know sometimes I do.
When Hugo first came to Sodor,
we weren't very kind to him.
We had never seen an engine
like him before.
But once we got to know him,
we realized that he was
actually very nice!
Gordon was very unhappy
that both Edward and Henry
were leaving the sheds,
and that Nia
was going to be
sleeping there instead.
But in the end, he realized
that changing where they slept
didn't need to change
their friendship,
and he could even be friends
with Nia, too.
