![]() The man who missed his train home is Jeremiah Jobling and this marks his last speaking role.This makes both engines very happy indeed. He says that the man was very thankful to the two for their help and the Post Train is the pride of the line. That evening, the Fat Controller meets Thomas and Percy and reads them a letter from the man who missed his train. Percy takes the chance to get his own back for the earlier teasing by telling the helicopter that rails work wonders. Harold explains he has been grounded due to strong wind. The next day, as Percy pulls his afternoon passenger train, he spots Harold looking miserable in his airfield. Thomas' driver offers the man a ride if he does not mind being uncomfortable. At a station, Thomas and his crew notice a man who had missed his train, waiting cold and alone on the platform. That night, everything runs perfectly and both engines make very good time on all their deliveries. Both Thomas and Percy are indignant and proceed on their way. He boasts to the engines that air is quicker than rails before taking off. The two decide to be extra quick that night, when Harold lands telling the two engines that the Post Train will apparently be scrapped and the deliveries will be made by him instead. Although the Fat Controller understands that it was not Percy's fault, the man would not listen. However, at the station, they find Thomas, who has some bad news the man in charge of the post has made a complaint to the Fat Controller about Percy being so late. Percy and his driver decide to set off earlier than usual that evening. Percy is too tired to explain to Harold what happened, and he finally arrives back at the sheds just as Duck is getting ready to head out for the day, falling asleep as soon as he enters his shed. ![]() but he is not alone long, as Harold lands and teases Percy over how late he is with the post. Percy does not mind this too much, appreciating the chance to see the island early in the morning with no one around. Percy tries his best to make up for lost time, but he is still very late and finishes his job after the sunrise. However, Henry finally gets the letters to him and the Post Train is filled. One night, there is trouble Percy is left waiting for Henry due to the ship from the mainland being delayed. Regardless of the weather, the two tank engines are happy to be entrusted with such an important job. Sometimes the light of a full moon on a clear night will light the way for them, or sometimes it will be so foggy that Thomas and Percy cannot even see the stars, but lamps will always be out to guide them on their way. Letters and parcels are loaded into the trucks at both harbours before Thomas and Percy begin their journeys, traveling through the now silent stations making deliveries. Thomas pulls one train while Percy pulls the other as the loads are too much for one engine to pull alone. Late at night on the Island of Sodor, after all the other engines have gone to sleep in their sheds, an engine can still be heard in the distance carrying the Post Train.
