T:TTA - Episode 31 - Battle of the Buses

An argument between Bertie and Bulgy escalates to a competition over who can take more passengers in a day where the loser gets rerouted but Bertie is forced to get creative when Bulgy steals all his passengers from his stops, leaving Bertie with none of his own.

This story is probably one of, if not my favorite I’ve written and seeing this filmed was a delight. Shooting a road episode in Trainz seems like it could be a nightmare but you rose to the challenge and created something I know we’re both proud of. Thank you for humoring me on having Mainland and I record our lines for this together, as this was a blast to act with him and create chance for me to try crazy things vocally. You’re a KING and I’m so excited for the work we do together, man.

[@MarshallRedmon01]

11:48 "No you don't have to buy new tickets" Those passengers are something else i promise you

[@SPG69]

This honestly feels like a season 18 episode

[@urtooslow4415]

Kinda season 20 ish

[@RWSfan2024]

I agree with you both

[@amaraatugbokoh8851]

Season 21 perhaps

[@Spark-lj6ft]

Season 21, I’d say because it takes place after the episode “Unscheduled Stops”

[@jonathanvault7540]

Bertie is Sodor's favorite bus, if anyone should be rerouted, it's Bulgy.

[@multifan75]

Yeah

Chase's Bulgy voice reminds me of Dr. Eggman's. But seriously though, great episode!

[@RWSfan2024]

Same

[@evanclarke5561]

Bulgy should've learned his lesson. If I was the Fat Controller then he'd be scrapped

[@autotechxbox163]

I don't think that the Fat Controller has any say on the roads but I agree.

[@mariobest93]

Not the Fat Controller, the bus company.

[@CraneProductions27]

That was a fantastic opening episode of a new series. What a way to start it, Bertie and Bulgy having a competition. The voice cast did a superb job :) .

[@cadenceauntarcticfan6238]

What a great start to Series 4 Nathan and Chase wrote a fantastic episode. Great references to the third series episode Bulgy and to the twenty-first series episode Unscheduled Stops. I also loved the rivalry between Bertie and Bulgy and I liked the fact Bulgy got re-routed on Duck's Branch Line in the end.

[@mariamagana7435]

it's very sweet that thomas, toby, and percy share their passengers to bertie.

[@Drockthe3rd]

3:34 Thomas' bruh moment

[@thesudriana016]

7:03 I spy Algy.

[@RWSfan2024]

Good eye

[@vasilybullock7967]

I love how the passenger asks if he can get off, like bulgy is keeping him hostage or something

[@videonut1988]

“FREE THE ROADS” on the destination blinds (in the TfL font at that)

[@victrqwq5347]

I love how workmen said "I dont know" XD

[@reygoh9944]

In my opinion: Bulgy never should have returned after he was turned into a vegetable market. Him becoming a market was pretty much his arc finally completed.

[@evelynjiles29]

I always enjoyed this Story by Chase and I’m glad to see your bringing it to life! This’ll definitely be an exciting season

[@iamjohnporter67]

Bulgy is behaving just like George the Steam Roller.

[@LuzNoceda511]

It's Different Yet Suitable That Bertie And Bulgy "Challenge Each Other" It's A Nice Dynamic

[@northern1369]

“The roads will soon be free!”, pinocchio said as his nose grew.

[@wardhousetv]

Great work Nathan! Thomas giving Bertie advice even though he lost the contest & then roasting about tickets was amazing! Hope I can voice in your creation some day. Furthermore: I’m looking forward to watching the rest of Season 4 on your channel. Also, wanna voice in my series?

[@lightblueproductions-isabl2742]

wow you got the actual thomas characters model

[@evelynjiles29]

This was a great start to the Season, the cast was wonderful and chase did amazing with the Script. I found it hilarious how the Passengers cheered as they left Bulgy. It just shows how much of a character he is seen as!

[@KameronCousin]

Well done on this episode Nathan! :D

[@zacharyspinks6207]

What a great Episode!, that was well done.

[@hfstudios_44773]

love the new intro

[@islesofforeignrails7917]

Good Story, although having Bulgy work on Thomas' branchline was good concept to begin with. If Bulgy was brought back to help his cousin, he would antagonize the branch line a few times. In fanwork, it can switch routes.

[@bluebellsfan8704]

Great work!

[@samaadlatif6143]

Awesome episode great comeback 👍

[@johnstewart5437]

This is a work of art! A great way to start of season 4!

[@oliverhood1732]

Bulgy Should've Been Selling Vegetables Instead Of Taking Passengers

[@JintySteam1]

Ha! I like how thomas gave up his passengers and essencially commissioned a rail replacement bus service on the spot and by himself. XD Usually for passengers a bus is the last thing you want to swap to.

[@urtooslow4415]

Bertie is the one who should get respect bulgy is the one who needs rerouting

[@billyjordan8588]

this will be fun the buses return

[@D.O.T.D.]

HOW CAN BERTIE HOLD THAT MUCH PASSENGERS!?

[@ahmireheueheu4617]

Hey Nathan, its me Ahmir But moving on from that, Starting off the season and your already making it a banger. I the Bulgy and Bertie dynamic in this video! Cameron's Narrating is amazing from Defenders of Sodor is really good, so i can't wait for more narration from him! Speaking of Cameron, the models with the eye reflection look phenomenal, and it makes your videos look more and more by the show, and that intro is god. Overall, i can see S4 being an insane season. Congratulations on making it to s4 my dude, can't wait to see whats the next episode!

[@amitysluzara2022]

This was fantastic

[@williamtheconqueror3]

Good job!

[@magicguystudios7940]

Awesome dude

[@thomastakenplaytakealongfa1656]

Nice episode! Kinda reminds me of Free The Roads

[@jacobwilcox8659]

This is why Bertie is much more better than Bulgy since he's more reliable. Bulgy on the other hand just causes confusion and delay.

[@paulblichmann2791]

Bulgy has ambition and as shown so cleverly here, even a vision! Sure signs of intelligence, he's one of the smartest characters. You don't get what "Free The Roads" means because he's that much smarter than you.

[@JintySteam1]

This is really good. I like imitated voice actor voices from the real series and it was made very well. I usually find a lot of fan made Thomas vids cringy to watch but this is good. One thing I've always wanted to see is like a spin off similar to jack and the pack but featuring other bus characters, because then we can see the island isn't run by 1 or just 2 buses.

[@ironcityrailfan8467]

Nice!

[@Benicthehedgehog]

I have a feeling that the crazy guy from Defenders of Sodor will one day meet up with Bulgy to get rid of railways with seeing that both Diesels and Steam engines have beaten him.

[@paulblichmann2791]

@8:26. Yes! He said the thing I like!

[@abbeyroadfan94-J.P]

awesome story with bertie and bulgy

[@bryantan863]

I think someone should write a story about Bulgy going to far which get him into big trouble and then sent away to be cut up for scrap which will make him finally learn logical sense that he is also out of date.

[@DanplayzrobloxYT]

I like the intro and everything its like a mini movie its quilt long

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

You need to do an episode where Bulgy meets George and the Horrid Lorries

[@eliotreader8220]

I think it was nice how Thomas and the other engines helped Bertie the Bus out after he get Competition from Bulgy the Double decker bus

[@RWSfan2024]

I like bulgy’s voice Also amazing story

[@jacobwilcox8659]

At 1:53 The only enemy I see is you and George not liking the railway, Bulgy.

Cool

[@naturespecialist1489]

5:38 say that to America

[@Thebluesteamteam]

Sonny the tank engine is in the video!

[@Guy_In_Gray]

What if the engines get tired of Bulgy saying “Down with railways!” and other anti-rail stuff and the engines start saying “Down with roads!” and other anti-road stuff to give Bulgy a taste of his own medicine.

[@mcjaranes3821]

All the thomas youtubers did everything

[@jacobwilcox8659]

I thought Bulgy had changed his attitude because Sir Topham Hatt gave him a second chance to be on the road again but he hasn't. If you carry on with bad attitude of yours Bulgy I'll tell Sir Topham Hatt to turn you back into a hen house!

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Would lady the Magic Engines be in one of your future episodes? Lady is one of my all time favorite steam engines

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Very good episode, animation and sound effects are really making it feel like it could be a series 21 episode, however the voice acting can be annoying at times, especially the guy doing bulgy sounding too much like Osbourne and also far too evil. Mainland studios did a good job at voicing Bertie and the narrator, as did the rest of the cast.

[@justaguy906]

Its not an animation its a game
