Smeg

### Biography

Smeg is a red double decker bus who takes passengers to and from places around the little western. Smeg is quite a reckless bus and because of this he ends up getting himself into many scrapes. He has a very cynical and sarcastic attitude and will be the last to admit he’s wrong even if actually is. Despite this Smeg does show that he cares for his friends and will be concerned if they are in trouble or hurt although he’ll try to hide this. Smeg unlike Bulgy doesn’t show contempt towards the railways.

Smeg is a Plaxton President low floor bus and was built in 2000 and worked in London for a couple of years in between this and his arrival on Sodor. He was reallocated to several different regions of England and was repainted to match the livery of the company that operated in the region. He was purchased in 2019 by the Sodor Bus Company and repainted back into his London red livery but he didn’t arrive in Sodor until April 2020. He is the most recent member of the Sodor bus company and resides at the bus depot located on the little western with Bertie, Bulgy and Urine. Smeg is painted in a London transport red livery with his chassis area being black with yellow lining.

### The Smeg Show

Smeg is on his way to the shops to get some chocolate bars for Bertie and Bulgy, Along the way, He runs into into some crates that were left on the road. After an encounter with a lorry who dumped the crates on the nearby railway line and sped away, Smeg is blamed for Duck crashing into the crates and coming off the line. Bertie and Bulgy arrive as Smeg tries clearing his name and eventually the Lorry comes back and Smeg and Bertie engage in a high speed chase. Eventually the lorry is caught (After a near miss with Trevor and another with Bertie) And Smeg's name is cleared. He still forgot the chocolate bars though.

Two weeks later, Bertie has taken ill, and Smeg finds an old green bus to take his place. As it turns out, the bus, who Smeg lovingly dubbed "Urine", is an absolutely incompetent old bus. And after an eventful day of crashes and mishaps, Smeg lashes out against Urine in the sheds that night. The next morning, A Distracted Smeg and Bulgy get into an accident with a Lorry carrying a tanker. Things get work when the tanker is set ablaze, and soon the fire brigade and Butch are there to help with the rescue, Bertie and Urine arrive at the scene and Urine, Without a second thought, goes in and pulls Smeg to safety just before the tanker explodes. Smeg gains a newfound respect for Urine, but only slightly.

A couple of weeks later, Smeg throws a party at the Bus Shed that ends up with Bertie out of commission for a while. As well as this, a new EMU (which ironically has the face of an Emu) has come to work on The Little Western line. Smeg is dragged into Bulgy's antics as the other double decker bus tries his hardest to thwart the Bird-Engine Hybrid. In the end all of his attempts fail (in some way or another) and Smeg reminds Bulgy that they can't always get what they want,

One week later, Smeg is watching television and arguing with Bertie when George rolls up with a proposition. He needs someone to run his tavern whilst He goes to the Constables Mothers funeral. After being persuaded with cash, Smeg and Bertie are shown what to do by George and are put in charge of the place with Cleo. Things go wrong however when many customers end up being annoying and Cleo being very condescending. Smeg eventually swindles alot of money out of a paying customer and quits whilst going up to the roof. Soon enough, Smeg and Bertie witness a mugging and a robbery by Lorry 1, who returns. Smeg gets into a fight with him, and the Lorry shoves off. The place is trashed and Smeg and Bertie leave.

During the peak of the summer tourism season, Bertie falls ill, and Smeg begrudgingly takes his place taking holiday makers around the Island. Smeg unfortunately decides that he is one of the most careful beings on Sodor, and gets his ass wedged under a low bridge, despite warnings from Bulgy and Butch. The next few hours are spent in pain and annoyance as Smeg gets a taste of Karma. In his words, Train after bleeding train cross the bridge and brick after bleeding brick falls on him, and he gradually gets more pissed off. But his pain doesn't end there! After being laughed at by his peers and finally being pulled out of the bridge, Surprise of all surprises, Thomas comes along, approaching the damaged bridge. Smeg wedges himself under the bridge again to hold it up to save Thomas but fate has other ideas. The bridge collapses anyways, causing a pile up, and making all of his waiting and pain for nothing.

Some time after the bridge incident Smeg is watching the Television until it loses signal putting Smeg in a blind rage causing him to dump the T.V onto the rail line, which he instantly regrets after it causes an accident leaving the bus sheds in a pile of rubble, he is scolded by the Fat Controller shortly afterward. That night Smeg tries to find somewhere to stay for the night, however after being either turned down or unable to sleep in several places he ends up spending the rest of the night awake leaving him extremely tired in the morning, causing him to get in the way of Bulgy's commute and driving recklessly nearly hitting a few vehicles. He then meets Bertie and Duck at Arlesburgh station, Bertie offers to do Smeg's work but he declines and carries on his way still trying to stay awake however he ends up falling asleep on a level crossing. His brief slumber is cut short however after being hit by Donald and causing another accident. He is once again told of by the fat controller and now has to go to the garage to get mended, giving him some relief from working and some time to sleep properly.
