Seeing the Sights

"You won't see all the sights eating ice creams!"

- Gordon

Seeing the Sights is the tenth episode of the tenth series.

Plot
Thomas is given the task to take important visitors on a tour of the Island. Gordon does not think that Thomas can handle a job like that and since he is a big engine, he can show the visitors all the sights in one day. So Thomas decides to prove that Gordon is wrong by taking the visitors to as many sights as possible. However, Thomas only succeeds in causing trouble as he leaves all his passengers behind at Brendam Docks, Black Loch, and Callan Castle.

Bertie soon arrives carrying the stranded passengers, which makes Thomas realise that he left all the passengers behind. Quickly, Thomas goes back over his tracks to collect the important visitors and carries on with the tour. However, when Thomas stops at a signal by the seaside, he decides to allow the visitors to spend the rest of the day at the beach. The visitors enjoy the fun at the beach and so does Thomas. Gordon arrives to tease Thomas, but Thomas tells him that it is better for the visitors to see one place properly than lots of places in a hurry.
