Thomas, Percy and the Mail Train and the nameboard sequence before it was fixed on the DVD, while the other episodes' audio remained unfixed. The overlapping audio did restore music pieces not present in the US version of some episodes, including Trevor's theme at the beginning of "Edward, Trevor and the Really Useful Party" and a cut portion of a music bit of Gordon at the station in "Gordon and the Famous Visitor."

Goofs

 * Some 1992 releases are missing the Strand Home Video logo and warning screen, and go straight to the Britt Allcroft logo.
 * On the 2006 DVD release during the Season 3 intro, it plays a bit of the closing theme audio for a few as the audio was taken from Thomas Comes to Breakfast, before reverting back to the opening theme audio. This was due to a mistake.
