4* The untimely death of Mrs Kyndley in ''Farewell, Old Friend''. It tells that a whole story arc is dedicated to the remaining Kyndley family in the aftermath.
5* Glynn's apparent fate in ''The Legacy of Glynn the Coffee Pot Engine'', after getting into an accident and becoming irreparably damaged.
6** At least until Sir Robert Norramby restores him in ''Inadequate Replica''.
7* ''The Sodor Blitz'', a [[DarkerAndEdgier Darker and Edgier]] episode released for Remembrance Day, is framed as a story told to an indignant Shane in the present day. The veteran telling the story recounts one night that the bombing set a truck full of munitions alight at Brendam Docks. Before Edward could start off to do ''something'', an explosion rang out and a fireball erupted...
8** The bombing itself. The air-raid sirens going off, coupled with the Home Guard frantically firing their rifles at the enemy planes, can bring back unpleasant memories for those who lived through it.
9* ''Gordon & The Bluebell'' opens with a brief tribute to Creator/MichaelAngelis, the source material's longest running narrator, who has passed away that year.
