After the carpenter has climbed aboard the [[Green Express Coaches|coaches]], Gordon left before [[Bertie (T&F)|Bertie]] could arrive with the engineer and other passengers. The carpenter was enjoying his time, as he was the only passenger and he did not have to stop at any station.

After Gordon realised his mistake, he left the coaches and went back for the engineer.
