* HilariousInHindsight: The premise of the story (Thomas believing he can drive by himself) can seem like a preemptive TakeThat at seasons 8-16, as well as current seasons where the engines can seemingly do anything without their driver and fireman. Even in current seasons the presence of drivers and fireman seem to have become more scarce and inconsistent.

* BrokenBase: The ending has cast a divisive reputation over this entire episode. One group dislikes this episode because they believe Thomas [[UnintentionallySympathetic was unfairly blamed for the accident]] because of the careless cleaner [[IdiotHoudini who receives no punishment]], while another believes he needed to be humbled after taking his driver's joke about not needing him anymore too seriously for his own good. A third group believes Thomas should not have been scolded for the accident, but acknowledges that he should have realised that his driver was joking.
