“Thank you, Trevor! You're not a stick-in-the-mud at all!"
"No. But you were, just for a little while.”
― Bertie and Trevor

Edward, Trevor and the Really Useful Party is the sixteenth episode of the third season. In the US, it aired on the Shining Time Station, All's Fair.

Plot

The Vicar is planning a garden party to fund a trip to the seaside for underprivileged children. Edward wants to help and, when the Vicar forgets to put posters up, Edward has them put on his boiler, tender and coaches.

Bertie later teases Trevor about being old, but Trevor forgets all about it with the happiness of giving children rides.

Bertie later tries to go through the field to drop off some passengers, but gets stuck in the mud and has to be pulled out. Bertie apologises to Trevor, and the party is a success.
