In the tenth series airing on Nick Jr. in the UK, PBS in the US and Treehouse in Canada, two tenth series episodes were paired along with a segment called "Sodor's Special Places" involving one of the locations on the Island of Sodor. In the US, they started adding the opening when Thomas' crew gets him ready for another days work and an ending when Thomas' crew cleans him after a days work in the PBS airings as it was used in the UK during the ninth series airings on Nick Jr. in 2005.
