Thomas' Favourite Friends

"The Island of Sodor is home to lots of Thomas' friends. Friends on the rails, friends on the roads, and even some friends in the air. They are all very different, and each very special. And they are all Thomas' friends."

- The narrator

Trivia

 * It is stated that Toby heard about 'Arry and Bert being mean to Neville from Salty instead of Henry. This also happens in Neville's Story Library Book, in which the scene with 'Arry and Bert takes place at Brendam Docks instead of the lumber mill. It is likely that this was originally going to happen in the episode but was changed in regards to the Learning segment "Where Can Neville Find Salty?".
