  • Refitted for Sequel: This episode was supposed to have been part of Series 2 but was dropped early in production as it followed on from where its fellow Unfinished Episode, "Gordon Goes Foreign", left off.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • This episode was originally planned to be a part of Series 2 but was left un-adapted until Series 3 for unknown reasons. The Series 2 version continued from where the unproduced "Gordon Goes Foreign" left off, with Gordon being allowed to rest after his trip to London. It also excludes some elements of the Series 3 version, notably Percy and Henrietta's scenes, and Toby trying to comfort James at the end of the episode.
    • Several promotional images show alternate takes on scenes in the episode:
      • An alternate take had Gordon crossing the viaduct in the other direction.
      • James boasting to Toby was first shot at Tidmouth Sheds instead of the yards, and the alternate scene has Toby looking far crosser than in the final episode.
      • Toby was first shot travelling under the bridge instead of over it.
      • When Percy finds Toby on the Main Line, he was supposed to come from the same direction instead of going the way Toby came from.
  • Working Title: "Double Header".
