Episode: Fire on the Line -Part Two. Marj is surprised to learn that the teacher who accompanied Alice and the other evacuees, Geoffrey Green, is the young man. Andy shows Alice round the station with no enthusiasm and learns of her home in Edgbaston, brothers, sisters and pets. Andy teases Marj for going on a nature ramble with Geoffrey and the other children, but Elsie makes him join the ramble.
Cycling away from the ramble, Andy goes down to the engine shed where Ted tells him that he can't visit the engine shed or get footplate rides any more because of the war. Alice finds an Andy upset about his mum's opposition to his engine driver dreams and everything that has changed in the last few weeks and tells him the truth - she was jealous of him because she has no family or pets, only an "Auntie" Glad and they live in Sparkbrook rather than Edgbaston. After an air raid during a dance, Marj discovers Geoffrey has been writing numbers down in his notebook, and George tells Andy why the Severn Valley Railway is so important to the war – it allows trains to bypass all the big cities.
