The episode was good in my opinion. It was nice seeing Caitlin for the first time, even though her debut is to be 'King of The Railway' due out in September. The plot seems to be a little familiar to a magazine story I have about Duck. In the magazine story, Duck came back from the works and was overexcited to start work. So he asked the other engines if he can do their job like e.g - The Flying Kipper. In the end he was tired and went to sleep. The vocabulary in the episode is really spot on with Percy say 'considerate' and the narrator saying 'disembarked' a great way for young pre-schoolers to learn these words. The lighting of the episode as well was spot on with Wellsworth station at night and the early morning scene. Fantastic work by the animators of Arc. But despite it being good, there is a few spot of flaws. Since the bridge is already down, wouldn't it be safe for Caitlin to travel over it? It would've been better if the bridge was stuck after it got lifted. But despite that, it was a good episode and Caitlin is agood and likeable character.
Rating: 4/5
