    • The last series to have episodes written by Paul Larson and Laura Beaumont until the twenty-fourth series. This is also the only series, since he returned in the seventeenth series, not to have any episodes written by Lee Pressman until the twenty-third series.
    • The last series to have Keith Wickham as the voice of Percy in the UK dub. Nigel Pilkington takes over the role starting with the nineteenth series.
    • The last series to have Duncan voiced by Chikara Osaka in the Japanese dub as well as the last series to have him as part of the Japanese voice cast, although he was supposed to reprise his role as Duncan in the twenty-fourth series episode The Great Little Railway Show, due to Tom Stourton declining the role (in which he would have to record one line of dialogue for Duncan) after Nobuaki Kanemitsu voiced Duncan in the twentieth series.
