- [Narrator] In the summertime,
there was no better place to be
than the Island of Sodor.
(whistle blows)
The engines are happy
to show vacationers
the wonderful sights to be seen.
But this year,
there was a problem.
Thomas and Emily were in
the foundry for repairs.
"I need to find a way to
carry more passengers,"
grumbled Sir Topham Hatt.
"We have more vacationers."
"And fewer engines," said Emily.
"A double decker
problem," added Thomas.
"A double decker problem, hmm."
This gave Sir
Topham Hatt an idea.
He drove straight
to Bulgy's Field.
(horn beeps)
Bulgy is a double decker bus.
He was turned into a henhouse
after he caused
a silly accident.
(crumbling)
"Good news, Bulgy.
"I'm putting you
back on the road."
"Thank you, sir.
"I'll be the best bus ever."
Bulgy never liked being
a henhouse anyway.
The next day, he
went to the foundry.
"Bulgy!" exclaimed Thomas.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm being repaired.
"I'm going back on the road."
"I think you'll be helping
the new farmer", said Emily.
"He needs to deliver his
vegetables around the island."
"Vegetables, hmph.
"I'm going to carry passengers."
Soon, Bulgy was
refitted inside and out.
He looked smart and shiny.
Even James was impressed.
"Ooh!"
When Bulgy returned
to his field,
the hens thought their
old house looked splendid.
"We'll start in the
morning," said his driver.
"You'll stay here tonight."
Bulgy was soon fast asleep.
But the hens missed
their old home.
One by one, they crept aboard.
And went to sleep in
the luggage racks.
Bulgy knew nothing.
The next morning, Bulgy
picked up lots of passengers.
"All aboard!" he tooted.
And set off for the station.
He was driving so smoothly
that the hens didn't wake up.
(whistle blows)
All was well, until
Bulgy turned a corner.
Trevor was pulling a hay cart.
(horn beeps)
"Get out of my way!"
(horn beeps)
He overtook Trevor.
Bulgy swerved.
The hens woke up.
The passengers panicked.
And Bulgy's driver lost control.
The hens were frightened.
They flapped, they squawked.
"Stop!" cried
Bulgy's passengers.
"We want to get off!"
The passengers were covered
in feathers and broken eggs.
They were very cross.
"This bus is full of
hens," they complained.
"We shall tell Sir Topham Hatt."
"It's not my fault,"
sulked Bulgy.
(horn beeps)
Sir Topham Hatt sent
Bulgy to be cleaned.
"Silly hens, silly passengers.
"You can have them both."
"The farmer still needs
help with his vegetables,"
said Emily.
"A vegetable bus?
"Hmm, that's not
such a bad idea."
"And we're back carrying
passengers," smiled Thomas.
Bulgy is happy now.
He has new green paint work
and a smart serving hatch.
Sir Topham Hatt
agreed he could become
the island's only
vegetable stand on wheels.
(whistle blows)
Bulgy likes carrying vegetables.
They don't lay eggs
and they never complain.
