Trivia[]
- It contains an extra 5 minutes of footage to make a transition between the two episodes. This footage includes Tyne taking the tunnel boring machine back shortly after completing the tunnel and Brewster laying the track inside the tunnel. Payce tells Brewster that she is nervous about her first run, so Brewster lets her practice once the track is finished. It also includes a formal introduction to Cormac, showing him loading up the wagons of tunnel walls and some interactions with Skylar, who picks up barriers and returns them at night. The footage ends with Cormac taking an early night after his busy day loading the tunnel sections.
- It aired as two seperate episodes, We Are the Chuggineers and The Tootington Tunnel in the UK before recieving a DVD release on October 13th.
