Train Stops Play

Train Stops Play is a fourth season episode.

Plot
Stepney is puffing past a cricket field with some "empties" when a batter hits a "six" and the only ball lands in a truck. Stepney doesn't realise, and when his driver sees Caroline the car racing after them with the desperate cricketers inside he mistakes them for joyriders and speeds up, to Caroline's annoyance. At last, Caroline arrives at Ffarquhar and the men get their ball back, but Stepney's driver notes Caroline looks exhausted, and suggests Caroline be rolled onto a flatbed. The cricketers ride back in a brakevan, and Stepney and his crew watch the game end.
