Winston

Voiced by: Matt Wilkinson

Description
A red inspection vehicle, Winston looks like a convertible on rails. He's used by The Fat Controller for inspecting line conditions.

Trope List

 * Butt-Monkey: Winston is this, due to constantly being subject to The Fat Controller's terrible driving skills.
 * Cars Without Tires are Trains: Winston essentially resembles a convertible without tires, and is used for rail travel.
 * Catch-Phrase: "Early days, sir. Early days".
 * A Day in the Limelight: Wayward Winston.
 * Demoted to Extra: Went from being a major character in season 17 to getting one cameo in season 18.
 * Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: One of the few characters to stand up to The Fat Controller. He forgets to put on Winston's brake, causing Winston to roll away unmanned. The Fat Controller scolds him after, but Winston calls him out on it.
 * Drives Like Crazy:
 * Though it's not his fault. The Fat Controller simply can't handle him properly. When one of his assistants drives him in Happy Birthday, Sir!, he drives perfectly fine.
 * On the other hand in said episode, he tends to leave said driver in a bind by constantly heading back and forth searching for a present for The Fat Controller (eventually biffing into Cheeky Chocolate).
 * Nice Guy: Winston is tolerate, considerate, and patient.
 * The Quiet One: In the later episodes, Winston doesn't really say much. In fact, he hasn't spoken since "Santa's Little Shopkin".
 * Runaway Train: Well, more like "Runaway Rail Car", but he is subject to this in "Wayward Winston".
 * Undying Loyalty: To The Fat Controller. He is very loyal to him and always puts up with his driving skills.
