This makes him stop and allow her to get on the train.įearing that he will miss Henry, Peter Sam races back to Crovan's Gate as fast as he can. Whatever the cause for it is, the coaches quickly alert him that he has left the Refreshment Lady behind. As the Refreshment Lady approaches the platform, Peter Sam suddenly starts - he claims he had heard the guard's whistle, the guard meanwhile believes Peter Sam was simply being too impatient. Peter Sam begins to worry about missing Henry's train as the crew and passengers return. The lady who runs the shop always catches this train home. Whilst there, his crew buy tea and cakes from the refreshment shop at the station. Later that afternoon, Peter Sam makes his scheduled hour-long stop at the Lakeside Station. He begins singing to himself and the coaches happily follow along. Peter Sam is secretly worried, but soon gets back to work, happy to be running the Skarloey Railway.
Henry is unimpressed and threatens to leave without his passengers next time. One morning, despite his best efforts, Peter Sam is late to Crovan's Gate. Peter Sam is now single-handedly running the Skarloey Railway and extremely excited about his new position, despite Skarloey warning him to keep calm. Sir Handel has been naughty, so the Fat Controller has shut him up in the shed for a while.
