* [[spoiler: The epilogue has Tulip's father is taking her to camp in autumn: meaning it's the same time the following year. But it takes place ''seven'' months after Tulip leaves the train, meaning YearInsideHourOutside was averted and Tulip was missing for ''five months'' after running away from home in the first episode. We just neatly skipped over all the grief her parents must have went through, thinking they would never see her again.]]

** [[spoiler: Both the Unfinished Car and the car that Amelia was working on in "The Engine" are filled with elements from her memories but combined in a nonsensical fashion and with certain small details blown way out of proportion, such as the jelly Aldrick was eating at school and the turtles on Amelia's handkerchief. This indicates that her memories are growing more distorted with time. How long does she have until she has no memories of Aldrick at all?]]

* In "The Corgi Car", Tulip rushes through multiple cars and deliberately ignores the characters asking her for help. When she catches a break, she looks at the number on her hand only to be disappointed, as the number only went down by one. [[spoiler:Later in the series, we learn that Tulip did everything ''wrong''. Because she ignored the passengers pleas for help, the number did hardly decrease. Then again, Tulip also thought that the number reaching zero was going to kill her]].

Added DiffLines:

* Amelia forces passengers to return to their seats, seemingly to avoid disturbing her work. But its shown that moving from car to car allows people to interact with more environments and deal with their issues more efficiently. Its possible many passengers never found redemption because of her actions restricting theirs (assuming they weren't flat out turned into ghoms).
