Well, it's morning time now. Which means it's time to get back to work. I woke up around 7:30 and ate breakfast before kissing my wife and kids goodbye. Now it's time to wake Thomas up. Percy and Toby are still asleep. However, Thomas wasn't able to sleep because he had a passenger train to take to Elsbridge unfortunately. But he wasn't the only one tired. Ted was exhausted too. Apparently he had gotten into an argument with his wife the other night and isn't in the best mood right now.

Thomas was not happy to be up this early to take a passenger train all the way to Elsbridge. And your probably wondering why is that a bad thing? Well, the loop line has been blocked off by a car accident yesterday night and now we have to take the long , long way. So he's obviously not the happiest about it. But hey, a job is a job right? And we must get it done. But first things first, we need to pick up passengers at Lower Tidmouth and then pick up more at Knapford station later on. I'm not even sure if Thomas can stay awake for that long if I'm being completely honest.

I heard James is going to be taking the red express, or as he likes to call it his red express, to Knapford while Douglas is also there shunting

I heard James is going to be taking the red express, or as he likes to call it his red express, to Knapford while Douglas is also there shunting. Still wonder what's up with him. After all, he's still been a jerk lately. Thomas was thinking about going to see Rosie and making sure she's okay but she's all the way at Ffarquhar probably still sleeping or just waking up. She was originally planned to be shunting at Brendam but since she's been sick, her job's been replaced for Duck to take over her role. The guard blew his whistle and we set off for Elsbridge. We passed by the Old Harbour where Donald was giving people a tour for the seaside. We stopped at Knapford to pick up more passengers along the way. James was there waiting for his passengers to arrive and get into the coaches so that he can leave. And Thomas is still sleepy. Honestly I don't blame him. It's like 8 in the bloody morning and we're taking people to Elsbridge.
