Trivia

 * This DVD marks the first time that the HiT Entertainment logo has been used at the start of a UK release since Tales from the Rails.
 * All Tracks Lead to Rome, Mines of Mystery, Lorenzo's Solo and Too Loud, Thomas! were all combined to form one hour-long special for the UK and Australian DVD releases, the Dutch theatrical and VOD release and the Russian television release, although the latter two episodes still have their title cards but not their opening or Learn with Thomas segments.
 * A VIP premiere of the special episodes (barring Lorenzo's Solo and Too Loud, Thomas!) was held at Drayton Manor's 4D cinema on 6 July for over 200 fans including families, guests and competition winners. Shortly after, the episodes were publicly shown there from 7 July to 14 July.
 * The Japanese theatrical release was originally planned for 3 April 2020, but it was postponed to 4 September due to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, despite the Japanese dub being finished before the pandemic began.
