Party Time (2011 magazine story)

Party Time is a magazine story.

Plot
Henry was in a hurry; he didn't want to miss the Christmas party at the Main Station. He pulled into a small village station and dropped off a sack of post. The villagers were having a party and they invited Henry and his crew to join in. Henry stayed for a while, but soon he was running late.

His next stop was the Farm where he dropped off feed for the animals. The feed was loaded onto Terence. The farmer then had a surprise for Henry and his crew - some Christmas presents! After the presents had been opened, Henry set off on his way again.

On his way back to the Main Station, Henry spots Bertie stuck in a snowdrift. Henry's crew kindly helped to dig the cold bus out. Bertie then insisted that they all join in the bus depot's party. Later on, Henry finally left the party.

As Henry approached the Main Station, he saw that the party had already started. There was loud music and lots of decorations. The Fat Controller tells Henry that he almost missed the party, but Henry replies that he's already been to three!
