There is never a dull moment on Thomas's Branch Line. First Thomas got into trouble and then a Diesel Rail-car called Daisy came to do his work. She then caused trouble, Toby chased a bull, Percy added to the problems... And so it went on until Sir Topham Hatt came to the rescue, and all ends happily.

OUR STORY STOPS ARE:
1. Thomas Comes to Breakfast
2. Daisy
3. Bulls-Eyes
4. Percy's Predicament
