When some holiday makers are coming to Sodor, Thomas and Emily are at the foundry for maintenance and find that there is no one to run the branch line during the summer holidays and the Fat Controller needs to find a way to carry more passengers. After Thomas said that this is "A double-decker problem," it gives the Fat Controller an idea by going to Bulgy, the double-decker bus who was turned into a hen house after an accident with a bridge. The Fat Controller gives Bulgy another chance to be back on the road and Bulgy is delighted.

Bulgy arrives at the foundry, meeting Thomas and Emily and tells them that he is going back on the road. When Emily thinks that he should help the new farmer to deliver his vegetables around the island, Bulgy insists on taking passengers instead. After being repainted, his driver takes him back to his field, where his previous residents, the hens, think he looks splendid. While Bulgy is sleeping, the hens miss their home. One by one they creep aboard and sleep in his luggage racks.

The next day, Bulgy picks up some passengers to take to the station, driving so smoothly that the hens don't wake up. Everything is going fine, until he has some trouble getting past Trevor. When Bulgy turns, he almost hits the Post Van and swerves; it suddenly wakes up the hens, which frighten the passengers and cover them with feathers and eggs. The passengers are angry over this incident and want to complain to the Fat Controller. Bulgy tells them that it was not his fault.

When Bulgy is sent to be cleaned, he is angry at both the hens and the passengers. Emily tells him that the farmer stills needs help to sell his vegetables, for which Bulgy thinks being a vegetable bus is a good idea. Thomas then adds that he and Emily are now maintained and ready to carry passengers again. As a result, Bulgy is repainted green and turned into a mobile vegetable stand. Bulgy cannot be happier, as now he does not have to put up with hens or passengers.

!!Tropes featured in the episode:
* TheBusCameBack: A literal example with Bulgy, who was last seen cameoing in Season 4's "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS4E26MindThatBike Mind That Bike]]".
* FlashbackCut: A flashback of Bulgy getting stuck under the bridge in Season 3's "Bulgy" is played briefly.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: As part of his brief HeelFaceTurn, Bulgy gets painted green for his new job as a mobile vegetable stand.
* HeelFaceTurn: Bulgy becomes a lot friendlier to the steam engines when he is given a second chance. Unfortunately, he eventually [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor goes back to his old anti-rail ways]] years later in Season 21's "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS21E10UnscheduledStops Unscheduled Stops]]".
* SequelEpisode: To Season 3's "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS3E23Bulgy Bulgy]]".
* StockFootage: Near the beginning of this episode, footage from Season 4's "[[Recap/ThomasTheTankEngineS4E7PeterSamAndTheRefreshmentLady Peter Sam and the Refreshment Lady]]" is used, which is especially egregious since Peter Sam has his old funnel.
