0:01:48 > 0:01:50Dig your claws in, hold tight.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Don't worry, we'll get the post through all right.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Now, children, as you know, tomorrow is our field trip.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Mr Pringle, are we going to the zoo?
0:02:09 > 0:02:14Not this time, Sarah. We're going to find out about the railway.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17We're going to look at the old train station.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- Ooh! Wow!- My dad says that's been shut since before he was born.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25But when your grandad was a boy, there was a steam train line
0:02:25 > 0:02:29that ran from Pencaster to Greendale.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Mr Pringle, I know something about steam trains already.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36So do I. They make a noise like this -
0:02:36 > 0:02:39whoo-whoo! Whoo-whoo!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43ALL: Whoo-whoo! Whoo-whoo!

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Gotcha!
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Well done, Sarah. Bet you've never caught a cat before!
0:03:15 > 0:03:20I hope I don't have to catch another. Jess, you are scratchy.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Sorry about that, Sarah.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Now, Jess, say thank you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29We'd better be off.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I think it'll be a slow job today,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35getting around in this windy weather. Bye, everyone!

0:04:05 > 0:04:09It's homework, Mum. I'm writing to a pen pal.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Her name's Meera and she lives in Pencaster.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I'm telling her about my trip to the station.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19That railway line used to bring the post from Pencaster.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Should think it's in a right old state by now.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Miaow!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Yes, Jess, I'm sending her a photo of you.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now then, follow me, everybody.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43CHILDREN MAKE TRAIN NOISES
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I want you to have a good look round
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and make a list on your clipboards
0:04:53 > 0:04:57of all the things you see that make this a station.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Mr Pringle! Mr Pringle! You mean, like, the platform, Mr Pringle?
0:05:01 > 0:05:06There you are, everyone. Sarah's given you your first item.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08See what else you can find.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Ooh! I wonder what's in there. - Let's go and see.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Have a look in.
0:05:20 > 0:05:26- I wonder what that is! - Let's go and get Mr Pringle.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Ooh! It's a train! - Would you look at that!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38"Greendale...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40"Rocket!"
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I bet it's the old mail train my dad told me about!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Ooh! From the weight of it, Ted,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I'd say these were the new hammers you sent away for.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57About time! Now I'll be able to do all those jobs I...
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Dad! Dad! We found the Greendale Rocket!- You never have!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04It was just standing there in a shed.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08It must have been left there after the line closed.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- I'd like to take a look!- I wonder if it's the one my dad rode on.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15We could get it working again!
0:06:15 > 0:06:18There's a challenge if I ever heard one!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Bye, Dad.- Cheerio, Julian.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I wonder...
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Well, I've been to the station with Pat and given her a good look over.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I just know I can fix that train.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41It isn't just the train, Ted, it's the station.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's been shut for years.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48The roof and walls are sound. All it needs is paint and some weeding.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I'd be happy to volunteer.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52See? The Reverend's willing!
0:06:52 > 0:06:56A project to make work for idle hands.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Er...not that I'm suggesting yours are idle, my dear.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01All those in favour of bringing
0:07:01 > 0:07:05the Greendale Light Railway back to Greendale, say, "Aye."
0:07:05 > 0:07:07ALL: Aye!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Miaow!
0:07:12 > 0:07:17# Well, the Greendale Rocket was standing
0:07:17 > 0:07:21# And the platform was sad and empty too
0:07:23 > 0:07:27# With nobody travelling to Greendale
0:07:27 > 0:07:32# And no-one even passing through
0:07:32 > 0:07:37# So we're fixing We're fixing up that engine
0:07:37 > 0:07:41# And the station will open up its doors

0:07:46 > 0:07:51# We'll be back on track once more
0:07:51 > 0:07:55# Well, the children are painting on the platform
0:07:55 > 0:07:59# Ted and Pat are working on the train
0:08:01 > 0:08:03# Everybody's here

0:09:19 > 0:09:21- What's wrong, Dad?- I've no idea.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- What's up with it, Ted?- I don't know. It SHOULD be working.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31But the grand opening's next week. What will we do without a train?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Oh, I'm sorry, lad.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I know you're disappointed about the train.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- I thought Ted could fix it. - So did he.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51He knows a lot about mending things, does Ted, but this steam train...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Well, it's got 'im beat.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58If only there was someone we knew who could help us,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02someone who really knows about trains.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Mm... someone who knows about trains!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- LOUD BANGING - Morning, Pat.- Good morning, Ted.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26What's that banging?

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Oh, you must be Pat. - Aye, that's me.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39I'm Ajay.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Your Julian is my lass Meera's pen pal.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46He wrote to me, asking for help with the train.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- He knew, see.- Knew what?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I'm mad about steam trains, me.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Always have been. I know all about them. Meera must have told him.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58When I got his letter this morning,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01saying it were urgent, I came over right away to have a look.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03That's very kind of you.

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I hope that's all right.- All right?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- It's marvellous! - Welcome aboard, Ajay!
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Thanks! Come and look at this. I think I've found the problem.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02I'm Nisha.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The station looks beautiful.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It was a lot of work,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11but it's been fun. Are you coming to the grand opening tomorrow?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Oh, yes, although it won't be much fun if it rains.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- Oh! Dad! Dad! We're here! - Hello, sweetheart.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Well...here she is,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52But it's so wet. He'll hate it!
0:13:52 > 0:13:57Jess is a sensible cat, Julian. He knows how to take care of himself.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Here, I made you some hot chocolate to warm you up.- Thanks, Mum.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Oh! Hello. Where did YOU come from?

0:15:42 > 0:15:45like Ted and Ajay, working on the Rocket?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49No, but they reckon they'll have it fixed for the grand opening.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Surely you'll not have a grand opening in weather like this?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Ha! It'll be more like the grand soaking!
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Anyway, I'd better get on with my deliveries.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Er...where's the post?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Well, I think it must be held up at Pencaster because of the storm.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I tried ringing the sorting office but the phones aren't working.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Don't worry. I'll go fetch it in my van.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20Och, no, Pat. It's no' a good idea, you driving about in this weather.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25I'll be fine, Mrs Goggins. The post always gets through.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37Oh, dear! Floods everywhere.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41This is no good. I'll try over by Thompson Ground.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50Oh! ..At least Jess'll be able to stay a bit longer.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00It's no good, Mrs Goggins.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03It looks like every road's flooded.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Och, well. At least you tried, Pat.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Oh, I can't believe there'll be no post today.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- I've NEVER missed a delivery. Ever! - Oh, dear!
0:18:13 > 0:18:17We'll have to cancel the grand opening.

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Not much further. We can dry them out when we get to the post office.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Who'd think three sacks of mail would take up this much space?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Looks like it'll be a moonlight delivery.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It will by the time I get these letters dry.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Still, it's better than no delivery at all.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- Sorry about this, Arthur. - Don't worry, Pat.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Better late than never.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Sorry it's late, Reverend. - At least it's arrived, Pat.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46I sense that today the post has moved in mysterious ways.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Come on, Julian. Time for bed.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55Can't I wait up until Dad gets back? He might have found Jess.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Oh, Julian.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Look, love...- Anyone home?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Dad!
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Did you find...?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Jess!
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- Well, where was he? - It's a long story.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- Nearly ready.- Thanks, Ajay.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Well, it's been a long job, has this.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Worth it, though. And at last we're having the grand opening.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- Would you like to try one of these? - Ooh! They look delicious.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- More tea, Vicar?- Ooh, yes, please.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43The good Lord really has provided today.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- I wish you didn't live so far away. - Me too.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52But we're moving soon to... TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Hooray!- Wow!- Wonderful! - Look at that!
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Fantastic!- Really grand! - I've never seen anything...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...
0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Miaow! - And you, Jess.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Before I cut this ribbon and declare the Greendale Light Railway open,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19I want to thank Ted and Ajay for all their hard work.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21APPLAUSE
0:23:21 > 0:23:25And I'm especially pleased to announce that Ajay and his family
0:23:25 > 0:23:29have decided to move to Greendale and help us run the railway.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Wow! That's brilliant!
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Absolutely wonderful!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38That's what I was going to tell you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- We're moving from Pencaster to Greendale.- That's great!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44So, with no more ado,
0:23:44 > 0:23:48I declare the Greendale Light Railway...
0:23:48 > 0:23:50open!
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Hooray! Hooray!
