Mrs. Kyndley (T&F)

Mrs Kitty Kyndley is an elderly lady who lives in a cottage near Hackenbeck Tunnel.

Biography
A landslide caused a blockages by her house which blocked the track, so she saved Thomas and his train from crashing into it by waving her red dressing gown out of her bedroom window.

That Christmas, they decided to throw a party in her honour at Tidmouth Sheds. The Fat Controller agreed to hold the party on Boxing Day and sent an invitation to the Kyndleys. On the day of the party, however, heavy snow had blocked the Kyndleys' cottage off and they were unable to get to the party. Thomas and Toby were fitted with snowploughs and were sent to fetch them. With help from Terence, they were able to bring them to the party, where everyone had lots of fun. The Fat Controller gifted Mrs. Kyndley a free travel pass and the Kyndleys stayed with the Hatts at Wellsworth until the weather improved.

Mrs. Kyndley also has a daughter who was married. She had the responsibility of preparing the good luck package, but forgot until the day of the wedding, so she asked Percy and his crew for help. Percy successfully found a good luck package and in gratitude, Mrs. Kyndley invited him to the wedding as her special guest. She also has a sister who comes to stay with her every so often. It can be assumed that she is very close to her sister because she was distraught when her sister could not come. To cheer her up, the Fat Controller arranged for Harold to take her on a tour of the Island by air and for James to take her to the funfair.

Mrs. Kyndley was present at The Great Railway Show, apparently serving refreshments for the audience.
