Air Date:

Plot:
Salty gives Gordon advice, but Gordon refuses to listen.
CON:
- The crash was great.
- The episode's moral's about 'Everyone can't be perfect'.
CON:
- It wouldn't take Gordon the whole day to deliver one line of trucks.
- The episode proves that Signalman are lazy and that drivers and fireman don't exist.
The episode would've been better if the accident took place at night with the thick fog and all as it doesn't take the whole day to deliver trucks, but I give credit to the crash. Plus this episode shows that the crew members of the NWR are just lazy people. The signalman didn't switch the points away from the old branch line, and why should he since the line is in bad condition, and Gordon's driver and fireman didn't stop him or slowing him down.
The episode is fine, but it has some flaws.
Rating: 3.5/5
