Comfort Zone is the seventh episode of Season 3, and the twenty-fifth episode overall.
Plot
Mavis is collecting a train of mining supplies at Ffarquhar, but suddenly Thomas comes rushing with the Breakdown Train, telling her that Percy has had an accident down the line. After waiting, The Fat Controller says that Percy has collided with a lorry and the crossing is severely damaged and will have to be repaired. Mavis does Percy's jobs while he is at Crovan's Gate. That afternoon, the stationmaster tells her that Thomas has been delayed at Knapford and she will have to take his passenger train. She is nervous, but manages. Soon, she stops at Elsbridge where she speaks to Henry, who gives her some advice about stopping. She then stops at Maron, and her driver gives her some encouragement.
She arrives at Tidmouth, just as Oliver pulls into the station, backwards. She speaks to him before taking her train back to Ffarquhar. However, she jerks the coaches a bit too hard and on Gordon's Hill, the rear coupling snaps and the train rolls back down the hill. Thinking quickly, Mavis goes back down and couples to the rear of the train, using her guard to tell her when to stop at stations. She arrives on time at Ffarquhar and Toby applauds her initiative. Following this, the crossing is repaired and Percy is on his way back from the works.
