"Wait, it's not a song about a bench at all! It's a song about what's around the bench - the Song of Sodor!"
― Nia

Song of Sodor is the fifty-second and final episode of the first series of Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go.

Plot[]

When Nia suggests adding a song to spice up Sir Topham Hatt's new bench unveiling, he calls upon her to write a song for the ceremony, but it'll take some brainstorming to discover what's special about a plain bench.
