Gereld The Grumpy Passenger is a grumpy man who often grumbles and complains. He is a resident of the Island of Sodor and is a frequent user of its railways.
== Biography ==
=== Thomas & Friends ===
Gereld The Grumpy Passenger is a man who rides on Duncan's train everyday. The man is constantly complaining about everything. One day, Duncan decided he had had enough of Gereld the man and tried to do everything he could to stop the complaining. No matter what he did, Gereld the man still complained. After causing a lot of trouble, Mr. Percival told Duncan that he knew Gereld the man well: he was always extremely grumpy and finding something to moan about. Lesson learned, Duncan decided to ignore Gereld the man in the future.
He is always checking his pocket watch, often reads the Sodor Times newspaper and carries a flask of tea. He is a fan of the Sodor United Football Team, and attended one of their games against Barrow.
Once, he took a tour of the Estate Railway. When the tour concluded, he attempted to disembark his coach, only for Stephen to set off in pursuit of Millie, after assuming that she had run away. Stephen took his train to the Blue Mountain Quarry, which Gereld the passenger complained about for "not being in the brochure". Stephen eventually ran out of water near Crovan's Gate, much to Gereld the passenger's fury. He attempted to complain to Sir Robert Norramby, only for the Earl to say he was lucky to receive an extended tour of the island at no extra charge. Sir Robert Norramby The Earl also promised him free tea and cake upon their return to the Estate, which placated the passenger.
Gereld is a good singer, he appears as an opera singer at The Famed Sodor Opera House where he sings a very brief performance.
== Personality ==
As his nickname suggests, he is a very grumpy and moody man who always complains about something endlessly, with the railways he uses being a particular target, or even cause, of his ire. Very rarely is he seen in a good mood.
