 * Michael Brandon: Gordon Takes A Shortcut. Gordon is a very proud engine. He likes to do important jobs. Gordon thinks he knows the Sodor railway better than anyone. Gordon was at Knapford Station, waiting for Stanley. Stanley was late. Gordon had to take Stanley's passengers on to Brendam docks. At last, Stanley puffed in.
 * Stanley: Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. I took a shortcut, but I got lost.
 * Gordon: Huh! I never get lost. I know the railway better than any other engine.
 * Sir Topham Hatt: Some very important passengers and a group of workmen are waiting at Great Waterton. The first engine to arrive will pick up the very important passengers. The second will collect the workmen.
 * Michael Brandon: Gordon didn't want to pick up the workmen. He wanted to pick up the very important passengers.
 * Stanley: I need to get coal and water. See you at Great Waterton, Gordon.
 * Michael Brandon: And Stanley chuffed cheerily away. Gordon was determined to arrive at Great Waterton first, so he raced off to Brendam docks. Gordon delivered Stanley's passengers and puffed away to Great Waterton as quickly as his boiler could bubble. Gordon puffed up to a junction. He could see Stanley ahead. Gordon was worried. Then he had an idea.
 * Gordon: Hmm, if I take a shortcut,
 * Michael Brandon: He huffed to himself.
 * Gordon: I will arrive at Great Waterton before Stanley, and I won't get lost.
 * Michael Brandon: So Gordon took the other track. Gordon steamed happily along his shortcut. He stopped at a signal. Duck was having a washdown. Duck was surprised to see Gordon so far from the express track.
 * Duck: Hi, are you lost? Would you like some help?
 * Gordon: No, thank you. I'm not lost.
 * Michael Brandon: And Gordon chuffed away. Gordon steamed further along his shortcut.
 * Gordon: I should be at Great Waterton by now.
 * Michael Brandon: He thought. Gordon puffed round a bend. Ahead, there was a bridge.
 * Gordon: Hooray. That must be the Great Waterton bridge.
 * Michael Brandon: But under the bridge, it wasn't Great Waterton. It was a repair yard. Gordon saw Oliver and Toad. They were having their wheels oiled. They were surprised to see Gordon so far from the express track.
 * Oliver: Are you lost?
 * Toad: Would you like some help?
 * Gordon: No, thank you. I'm not lost.
 * Michael Brandon: And Gordon chuffed quickly away. Gordon steamed along. Now he was more worried. His shortcut was taking longer and longer. Then he saw another bridge.
 * Gordon: Hooray. Here's the Great Waterton bridge.
 * Michael Brandon: But under the bridge, it wasn't Great Waterton. It was the shunting yard of a logging station. Gordon had never been here before. Then, in the distance, he heard Stanley's whistle from the track below.
 * Gordon: Stanley's catching up.
 * Michael Brandon: He huffed to himself.
 * Gordon: I must race ahead.
 * Michael Brandon: Gordon pumped his pistons. Then there was trouble. Ben was shunting a flatbed with logs. Gordon biffed straight into them. The logs started to roll down the hill.
 * Gordon: Bust my buffers. Those logs will block the lower track. I must stop Stanley.
 * Michael Brandon: But Gordon didn't know which track to take to find Stanley. Gordon was lost.
 * Ben: What have you done?
 * Michael Brandon: Gordon knew his shortcut hadn't worked. Now he needed to ask for help.
 * Gordon: Can you help me, Ben? I have to get to the lower track as fast as possible.
 * Ben: Of course.
 * Michael Brandon: Ben was happy to help. Soon the track was clear, and steamed away. He had to warn Stanley. Then Gordon arrived at a fork in the track. He didn't know which way to go next. Gordon saw Oliver and Toad puffing towards him.
 * Gordon: Please, stop. I'm lost. I need to get to the lower track as quickly as possible.
 * Michael Brandon: Oliver was happy to help.
 * Oliver: Take the left track.
 * Michael Brandon: And Gordon raced on. Gordon arrived at another fork in the track. He didn't know which to go. Then he saw Duck chuffing over a bridge.
 * Gordon: Please stop. I'm lost, and I'm in a hurry.
 * Michael Brandon: Duck was happy to help.
 * Duck: You must take the track on the right.
 * Gordon: Thank you.
 * Michael Brandon: And Gordon steamed off. At last, Gordon puffed on to the lower track. He could see the logs had fallen across Stanley's line. Then he saw Stanley chuffing around the bend. Gordon blew his whistle long and loud.
 * Gordon: Stop, Stanley! Stop!
 * Michael Brandon: Stanley applied his brakes and screeched to a halt just in front of the logs. Soon Rocky arrived. He cleared the logs in no time.
 * Gordon: I'm sorry, Stanley. This was all my fault. I wanted to take a shortcut. I wanted to pick up the very important passengers. But now I want you to collect them.
 * Michael Brandon: Stanley was delighted. Later, the very important passengers were all on board Stanley's passenger cars. Stanley felt very proud. Gordon puffed in to collect the workmen.
 * Gordon: I won't be taking any shortcuts this time.
 * Michael Brandon: Stanley laughed, and Gordon smiled at his new friend.
