Nia's Snowy Adventure

**Nia's Snowy Adventure** is the tenth episode and the first season's finale. It premieried on Youtube on December 21, 2021.

## Plot

With snow coming to the island, Nia is tasked by Mr. Percival to help Edward at Wellsworth, which he appreciates. Nia comments on how she doesn’t see the harm in snow. Edward then explains how it may be more harmful then it seems, which is why engines use snowploughs. Bill and Ben then arrive, and joke how crews might leave the engines behind in the cold, something Edward condemns them for. The two cheerfully brush his criticism off.

Later, as Nia is working at Wellsworth yards, Bill and Ben tell her that she needs to pick up a goods train at Brendam docks, and she heads there, only to learn from Porter and Salty that there is no train ready for her, and that she was tricked by the twins. This annoys her as she returns to Wellsworth, all the while at Brendam, Edward pledges to have a stern word with the twins. Meanwhile, Nia returns to a messed up yard and the twins leave, writing of responsibility to shunt it, leaving Nia to do it all.

Nia manages to shunt all the trucks in place as Edward returns. He informs her that he spoke severely to the twins and mentions how they aren’t always serious. Nia expresses that they should be in regards to the snow. Just then, the stationmaster arrives and asks one of them to clear a snowdrift by a tunnel. Nia volunteers, but Edward is uncertain if she should go. She however insists on upholding the responsibility to clear the lines of snow. The stationmaster also warns of a incoming snowstorm and that she should be careful.

Nia arrives at the tunnel and finds a large amount of snow in front of it, reaching as far up as the top of it. Her driver advises her to consider going back before the storm arrives, but Nia remains determined. She begins to plough the snow, which triggers more of it to roll towards her, eventually trapping her in it.

Bill and Ben overhear her cries for help and race to the rescue. However, they realise that they’re not strong enough to help her, and begin to consider who to ask for help. They eventually agree on someone who they deem would be perfect for the job.

The twins eventually return with help, revealed to be BoCo. He greets Nia. She begins to explain how she thought it was important to plough the snow, while the twins apologise for pranking her earlier. Once they’ve helped her out of the snow, they return to Wellsworth, where Edward is. He is much surprised and relieved to see BoCo again. BoCo explains how he was busy on the Mainland, dealing with other diesels. Edward asks if he is staying, which BoCo confirms given how late it is. All of them then joyfully whistle and honk.
