I have a feeling that this is one of the pushed aside episodes of S21 as Toby mentioned that Henrietta was away at the Steamworks and had Hannah or it's not and Henrietta was just away. That aside, this episode was great. I remember when this episode aired in Italy back in August, I was surprised that Duck was given a lead role. His last lead role was 'Duck And The Slip Coaches' in S18, which was not too long ago but it's nice to see him getting the spotlight again and to see him outside of his Great Western pride persona, which I'm fine with because "He talks endlessly about it!" as that's a part of his character. The episode showed his caring side for Dexter, the new carriage. So it's nice to see more to his character.
Plus the moral about recycling and reusing was nice to hear and I quite like how he was transformed to a school house, it also shows how education is important in a subtle way. Although I wonder if they'll be anymore episodes focusing on Dexter in future, as he was only restored to be a school house until the school at Harwick was repaired.
Speaking of Dexter, I was quite surprised to hear that Mark Moraghan is the voice of the carriage. So despite him not being narrator anymore, for the TV series of course, it's nice to see him still part of the Thomas team. In the end, this was a great episode and it felt like something out of S20 or S21.
