00:00THE PHANTOM EXPRESS
00:04One dark and misty night, Percy was getting ready to collect the mail. He was excited.
00:12I'm making my first ever delivery to Ulfstead Castle.
00:17That sounds scary to me.
00:20But James decided to have some fun with Percy.
00:24The Phantom Express might get you.
00:27The Phantom Express? Who's that?
00:32He's a ghost engine. He puffs around the castle, rattling the rails and blowing his ghostly whistle.
00:40WHISTLE BLOWS
00:42Don't listen to him, Percy. He's just teasing you. There's no such thing as ghosts.
00:49Yes, there is. You'll see, Percy.
00:52WHISTLE BLOWS
00:54Percy was nervous about what James had said, but he chuffed away to collect the mail.
01:01Percy was soon puffing toward the castle.
01:05I hope I don't meet the Phantom Express.
01:10Percy arrived at the castle. He had to wait at the red signal for the drawbridge to come down.
01:19WHISTLE BLOWS
01:24Percy's driver unloaded the mail, but Percy was still thinking about what James had said.
01:31WHISTLE BLOWS
01:41Hello, Percy.
01:43Oh, hello, Stephen. I thought you were the Phantom Express.
01:49Phantom Express? What's that?
01:52He's a ghost engine. He puffs around the castle, rattling the rails and blowing his ghostly whistle.
02:01Oh, there's no such thing as ghosts, Percy. I've never seen one or heard any rattling rails.
02:10Just wait till I tell James.
02:13WHISTLE BLOWS
02:15Then James arrived. He was delivering coal for the big castle fires.
02:20Have you seen the Phantom Express yet, Percy?
02:23Ha! I don't believe your story, James. Stephen says there aren't any ghosts at the castle and he should know.
02:31This made James very cross.
02:34That's where you're wrong. I've seen the Phantom Express this very night. He's puffing round the castle rails.
02:43Really? Were the rails rattling? We don't believe you.
02:48WHISTLE BLOWS
02:54What's that noise then? It sounds just like the ghostly whistle of the Phantom Express.
03:02It was only an owl hooting.
03:05WHISTLE BLOWS
03:07But even Stephen thought that it sounded just like the Phantom Express.
03:12Let's meet up again, Percy, as soon as we've done our jobs.
03:16Good idea, Stephen.
03:24I'll show them.
03:28There's no such thing as ghosts. There's no such thing as ghosts.
03:33There's no such thing as ghosts. There's no such thing as ghosts.
03:37There's no such thing as ghosts.
03:39James blew his whistle.
03:42WHISTLE BLOWS
03:45Oh! Is that... Could it be? No, it isn't. Yikes!
03:51Ha-ha! Scared you! Ha-ha!
03:55Stephen was so scared, he rushed backwards to the castle, so he didn't see that the drawbridge had gone back up.
04:03His driver and fireman had to jump clean.
04:07Whoa!
04:09Stephen had rolled right off the track and fallen into the dry moat.
04:15Well, that wasn't very clever, now, was it?
04:19Meanwhile, Percy had delivered the mail and was puffing back to meet Stephen at the junction.
04:25But Stephen wasn't there.
04:28Oh, no! Where's Stephen?
04:31Maybe the Phantom's got him.
04:37Oh, I hope that's Stephen.
04:41But it wasn't Stephen. It was James.
04:45Whoa!
04:49Percy heard the sound. Percy was very frightened.
04:54Ha-ha! Scared you!
04:57Percy was so scared, he raced away without paying any attention to the red signal.
05:05Then there was trouble.
05:13Hello, Percy. I see you've found the meeting place.
05:18James wanted to tell Percy and Stephen that it was all a joke.
05:22Percy? Stephen?
05:25There was so much fog, he couldn't find them anywhere.
05:31As he puffed around the misty castle grounds alone, James started to get scared.
05:37He even started to believe his own story.
05:41Maybe there really is a Phantom Express.
05:46And maybe it's got Percy and Stephen.
05:49James kept looking for Percy and Stephen.
05:53But when the drawbridge came down, it hid them.
06:01I think somebody must be coming.
06:04Maybe we should blow our whistles.
06:10Oh, no! It's the Phantom Express!
06:16James was so frightened, he raced off as fast as he could.
06:22The Fat Controller was at the dairy.
06:25Thomas was collecting milk to take to the bakery.
06:29Help! It's the Phantom Express!
06:37James! What on earth are you talking about?
06:41Percy and Stephen are missing! The ghost has got them!
06:47Hmm. The Fat Controller knew there were no such things as ghosts,
06:52but he wanted to find out where Percy and Stephen had gone.
06:57Come on, then, James. Let's go on a ghost hunt.
07:05As James and the Fat Controller approached the castle,
07:09they heard the mysterious whistling.
07:12It echoed around the castle walls.
07:15See, sir? It's the Phantom!
07:20That's not a phantom, James. Raise the drawbridge!
07:28Percy and Stephen, why are you two down there?
07:33The Phantom chased us, sir.
07:36I heard his ghostly whistle.
07:38And I saw him puffing through the fog.
07:43Oh, dear. That wasn't the Phantom.
07:46That was me playing a trick on you. I'm sorry.
07:51The Fat Controller was not very happy.
07:58Soon, Rocky had lifted Percy and Stephen back onto the tracks.
08:06James, you have caused confusion and delay.
08:11You will deliver Percy's mail every night for a whole month.
08:16Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.
08:19Good luck, James.
08:21I hope the Phantom doesn't get you.
08:31Wait for me!
