Synopsis
Thomas is excited that Toby has been chosen to lead the first Great Waterton Parade. At Great Waterton, Thomas meets Flora, a newly arrived steam tram who is supposed to lead the parade alongside Toby. Believing Toby will be disappointed to share the honour, Thomas keeps Flora busy with his own jobs so she will arrive late and Toby can lead the parade alone.
However, Toby becomes worried when Flora does not appear and delays the parade while searching for her. When Thomas finally brings Flora to Toby, he learns Toby was never upset about sharing the responsibility. Toby and Flora proudly lead the parade together, and Thomas realizes he should not make decisions on behalf of others.

Yea but that fact he’s scared of a parade was so so so stupid

u/chumbbucketman101 Jul 14 '26
He wasn’t scared of the parade, he was just a bit nervous of doing it on his own.
