Goofs

 * As the broken bridge was ahead of the signalbox, Thomas should have gone backwards to the ironworks.
 * The Fat Controller should have given the job of warning engines about the broken bridge to the station master, not to Thomas.
 * It would be dangerous for James to go under the broken bridge, especially with Neville hanging over the edge.
 * Edward is amongst the engines who spread the rumour about Neville, but he's supposed to be one of the kinder engines.
 * In Calling All Engines, the bridge section was too heavy for Thomas to take on his own. But, in this episode, Thomas takes a bridge section without any trouble at all.
