Noisy Passengers

"COME ON UNITED!"

- the football fans

Noisy Passengers is a magazine story.

Plot
Murdoch likes the peace and quiet. He's glad he's not taking the football fans, but the Fat Controller then gives Murdoch an urgent delivery. When he gets to the docks, his urgent delivery turns out to be a cage of noisy, chatty monkeys. Along the way, they break out of their cage and start climbing on Murdoch. They sat on buffers and boiler, and one sat on his tender hurling coal. Now Murdoch wishes he'd have taken the football fans.

Characters

 * Thomas
 * Murdoch
 * Sir Topham Hatt
 * Cranky
 * Annie and Clarabel (do not speak)

Goofs

 * Two of the passengers on Annie are not coloured in.
 * It's unlikely the monkeys would escape and even if they did they would more likely run off, not return to their cage. Also, Murdoch's driver should have seen the monkeys on Murdoch and stopped the train.
