Bulgy

Bulgy is a big red (now green) and cream double-decker bus with who works on the Island of Sodor. He hated railways, and believed that some day they would all be replaced by roads. He even carried a poster on his side telling people to "JOIN THE ANTI-RAIL LEAGUE". His favourite phrase is "Free the roads!"

When he first arrived, he tried to steal Duck’s and Oliver's passengers by pretending to be a railway bus. Bulgy was determined to get the passengers to the Big Station before Duck, but was stopped when he became stuck under a low bridge after taking a short cut. His lies were exposed, and soon "nobody would believe his destination boards". Eventually he was turned into a henhouse by Duck's branch line.

Many years later, he was brought back to the road to help with passengers, but the chickens caused trouble. He was then turned into a green mobile vegetable stand, where he enjoys his work delivering fruit and vegetables around the Island.

Bulgy was only featured in two episodes, 'Bulgy' in Season 3 and 'Bulgy Rides Again' in Season 7. He also made a cameo in Seasons 4, 7 and 10. He was also featured in the Railway Series with black face with separate eyes like Caroline and a license plate that reads BLG1. To date, the "Thomas Gets Bumped" and "Thomas and the Toy Workshop" DVDs are the only DVDs that have information on Bulgy in the "Character Cube" bonus feature. It informs that he "has no scruples" and knows how to tell a lie when he is in a "tight jam", which is why, surprisingly, he and Devious Diesel are friends! However, there is no episode that has Bulgy and Diesel together in the same place or episode, so this idea is debatable.
