Frank Comes to Visit

**Frank Comes to Visit** is the twentieth episode of the first season

## Plot

One night, Mr. Spector receives a phone call about a special visitor arriving to the garage, and Sammy tells the others the news. The visitor is a big silver bus named Frank, who is from America. The buses are amazed by him, and even offer him to sleep in the garage. However, due to how big Frank is, the other buses had to squeeze out of his way. Because there wasn't any room for Colin, he had to sleep outside, but he doesn't mind.

The next morning, Frank wakes up the other buses and tells them about his day. Some of the buses are worried as they believe Frank would be too big to fit around these areas, but Frank shrugs it off and drives off. However, during his journey, mishaps happen. Due to him being so big, he had to slowly across the small Chumley bridge, and the country lanes were slowing him. Frank finally arrives at the airport, he was very late, and decides to get help from the other buses.

Back at the garage, Stephanie has an idea to help Frank. If they all work together, she was sure they could make Frank's trip a success. Harry took the passengers to the Castle, Susan took the passengers to the Seaside, Colin took the passengers to the Farm, and finally Stephanie took them to the picnic. The plan had worked, and the passengers were very happy, including Frank.

It is now time for Frank to leave, and he thanked all the buses for all their help, especially Stephanie.
