Bessie Bowl's Office

Bessie Bowl has an office where she usually works when she is not busy talking to the Shopkins or planning events. This is also where she receives messages from the stationmaster and other people about her Shopkins whenever they are in trouble or need to talk to her.

In the Shopville Series the main office was located at Shopville Airport until 1925, when it was moved to Tidmouth following the agreement with the LMS allowing trains to run to Barrow-in-Furness. In the television series, the main office is located at Small Mart, however others have been seen at Rheneas and the Shopville Search and Rescue Centre.

In the nineteenth series, the office was being redecorated, though Apple Blossom accidentally thought this meant Bessie Bowl was leaving the railway. Soon after, Pineapple Lily blew up the office with a stick of dynamite so that she could steal the treasure being kept in the safe.
