Thomas and Bertie's Great Race (Thomas and Bertie) GC Remake

One morning, Thomas is waiting at the junction to his branch line when a bus drives up alongside him. The bus introduces himself as Bertie, who remembers Thomas from the time he took his passengers home after Thomas crashed into a snowdrift and tells Thomas that he has come to help with his passengers today. Thomas claims that he can go faster than Bertie, who challenges Thomas to a race. Their drivers agree and Thomas and Bertie begin their race.

As it takes Thomas a while to build up speed, Bertie takes the lead at the beginning until he reaches the level crossing, where Thomas passes him and now Thomas is in front. After that, the road leaves the railway and Thomas stops at the next station to collect his passengers. He tells them to get in quickly and as he starts off again, he sees Bertie in the distance, zooming over the bridge and retaking the lead. Thomas tries to catch up, but he has to stop at Elsbridge station because of the passengers and the signal is up. Bertie continues on gleefully while Thomas feels sure that he will lose the race, but he feels better after having a drink and is ready to continue just as the signal drops.

As he crosses the bridge over the River Els, Thomas finds that he still has a chance to win, seeing Bertie waiting at a traffic light. As Bertie starts again, Thomas reaches full speed and takes the lead as he whooshes into the tunnel, leaving Bertie toiling far behind and makes it to the last station, thus winning the race. Everyone cheers for Thomas, but they also give Bertie a big round of applause. Bertie congratulates Thomas and remarks that he would have had to be an airplane to beat him over the hill.

Thomas and Bertie are now great friends and work together to bring passengers to each other. They often talk about their race, but Bertie's passengers have advised the bus that they don't like to be bounced around like peas in a frying pan and Sir Topham Hatt has warned Thomas not to race at dangerous speeds. So although, between you and me, the two friends still hope for a chance to race again but I don't think they ever will. Do you?
