Just Your Ordinary Thomas Pilot

Synopsis
Thomas is at Elsbridge Station waiting for Stanley to bring his passengers. However, Stanley is running late because of Wilbert the Forest Engine and some protesters.

The mob is rallying against the destruction of Maithwaite Forest to build a new log loader. The Pack vehicles aren't pleased with this, and neither are Stanley and his passengers. Eventually, Stanley's driver and fireman call Sir Topham Hatt, who in good time arrives threatening to get the police involved. The protesters soon disperse, (to Stanley's delight) but Wilbert isn't pleased. Sir Topham tells Wilbert he'll speak to him later.

Later, when Thomas finally collects Stanley's passengers, Sir Topham Hatt meets with C. Reginald Dalby, an artist who had recently been fired for childlike drawings. Thomas leaves the platform too suddenly, causing Sir Topham Hatt to fall onto the tracks and nearly get killed by Percy. Though Topham isn't hurt, Thomas takes the blame.

At the end of the day, Thomas is punished by Sir Topham Hatt and is forced to stay in his shed for a week.
