Bulgy (episode)

"Look at Bulgy! He's a mean scarlet deceiver!"

- Oliver

Bulgy is the twenty-third episode of the third season.

Plot
A special holiday is being celebrated and many visitors are traveling to Duck's branchline. At Tidmouth, Duck meets a leftist double-decker who threatens that one day rails will be ripped up. Duck warns Oliver, who takes his threat with a pinch of salt and nicknames him "Bulgy", but later Oliver becomes concerned when another bus comes to help Bulgy, and the two Great Western engines are furious when they see Bulgy pretending to be a railway bus. Duck chases after him, and finds Bulgy stuck under a bridge. Duck cautiously crosses the bridge and takes Bulgy's passengers home, but Bulgy never learns sense and when no one believes him anymore he is scrapped and turned into a henhouse.
