Trivia

  • This season marks the first of a few things:
    • The first season where Harold never spoke in any of his appearances.
    • Skarloey, Rheneas, Sir Handel, Peter Sam and Rusty's first appearance in full CGI.
    • The Skarloey Railway Depot, The Lighthouse and the Sodor Suspension Bridge's first appearance in full CGI.
    • The Troublesome Trucks appear with faces for the first time since the thirteenth season.
    • The first season to feature Matt Wilkinson as Butch in the UK version.
    • The first season to feature Ian McCue as producer.
    • The first and only season to feature Rebecca Evans as script editor.
    • The first and only season for which all of the episodes (except The Christmas Tree Express) aired in Australia before airing in other countries. However, selected episodes from the seventeenth and eighteenth seasons also aired in Australia ahead of their overseas debuts.
    • The first season where the end credits only list the cast members who provide voices in the particular episodes. The only exceptions are Whiff's Wish, where Ben Small is incorrectly added to the list of voice actors, and Don't Bother Victor, where Steven Kynman is not credited.
  • This season marks the last of a couple of things:
    • Sharon Miller's last season as head writer.
    • Greg Tiernan's last season as director.
    • Nicole Stinn's last season as producer.
    • Matt Wilkinson's last season as the voice of Victor in the UK version, although he continues to provide voices for other characters from this point.

    • The last season animated by Nitrogen Studios.
    • The last season to feature Glenn Wrage as Butch in the US. Steven Kynman took over the role in the seventeenth season.
    • The last season narrated by Michael Brandon and Michael Angelis for the US and UK, respectively, and the last to have two separate narrators for the UK and US.
    • The last season to have twenty episodes.
    • The last season to have Rupert Degas as part of the voice cast. Keith Wickham took over the role of Bertie and Steven Kynman took over the role of Dart. Ben Small only voiced Flynn in the seventeenth season, then this role was given to Rob Rackstraw in the nineteenth season.
    • The last season to have a character voiced by the narrator in the US version (Diesel in this case as Martin Sherman took over the role of this character until the eighteenth season and Mark Moraghan is the current narrator from the seventeenth season onwards).
    • The last season to have Ben Small voice Ferdinand in the UK dub.
  • Skarloey, Rheneas and Peter Sam's whistles now budge up and down when they use them.
  • On Netflix UK, this series was listed as Season 14. The mistake was later corrected.
