Trivia

 * This is the first season to be narrated by Michael Angelis in the UK.
 * This would be the last season to air on Shining Time Station before the TV Series would start airing as 4 episode 24 minute blocks in the US.
 * The episodes would have aired in order on Shining Time Station.
 * Thomas, Percy and Toby would remain at the branch line sheds from this season onward.
 * Donald and Douglas would have kept their nameplates on their smoke boxes during this season through the rest of the model series.
 * The Arlesdale Railway and Fergus Duncan would have been introduced this season.
 * Special effects with editing software would have been used for the small engine's eye movement.
 * The production number of the Arlesdale Railway episodes don't count under the same production number as the standard gauge episodes production number but still count as part of the third season. Same thing will happen with the Skarloey Railway episodes in the next season.
 * Daisy would retain her role in the TV Series adaption of Mavis as in the original Railway Series story.
 * The last three Arlesdale Railway episodes would use similar scripts as their existing Season 20 scripts but Thomas would be omitted from the episodes. Rex's crash would also be done in a Seasons 3-4 esque crash.
 * The station Donald and Douglas pass by in the beginning of Ballast would be changed to Callan Station due to the stories being re-written to be set after Duck got his branch line and Oliver arrived. Oliver and Toad would reprise Gordon and Henry's roles in the TV series adaption.
 * Thomas and Percy's Christmas Adventure would have been an extended 24 minute episode. The US version would mostly use the UK script (despite the Sir Topham Hatt edits) with the holiday remaining Christmas.
