Michael Angelis: The derailed coach was in a middle of Skarloey's train, so he had gone out to the top station with his front coaches. Duncan shunted the work's trains into the sidings and left the workmen to sort out the mess. Then he brought the passengers and rear coaches home. He sulked all the way.

Duncan: I get no rest, I get no rest.

Michael Angelis: He muttered. Duncan had made a journey very difficult. He was short of steam so his driver waited a while and hope of raising more. But Duncan wouldn't try.

Pippi: Come on, Duncan! You going to make us mad and the passengers!

Michael Angelis: Duncan was cross.

Duncan: You always think about the passengers and never about me!

Michael Angelis: It wasn't long before Duncan built up enough steam and set off again. But he was still very grumpy and cross.

Duncan: I'm overworked, and I won't stand it!

Michael Angelis: At last they reached the viaduct near the station.

Tommy: There it is, the station!

Annika: It won't be long now, till Miss give us a sticker and big colour cakes for all of us.

Michael Angelis: Then Duncan was very rude.

Duncan: Keep your old station. I'm staying here.

Michael Angelis: And he did too. Skarloey had to haul Duncan and his train all the way to the platform.

The Fat Controller: No passengers means no polish.

Duncan: No polish means no passengers.

Michael Angelis: Duncan muttered to himself. He still has a lot to learn, doesn't he?
