Trivia[]
- A as a single Alphablock, only says her sound in this episode.
- Running gag: N asks "Are we nearly there yet?"
- C, F, H, S, and W are the only Alphablocks who do not say "No!" after N asks.
- Both letters in digraph CH have proper speaking lines together. But when unstuck, C doesn't speak and H only has one solo line. This makes C the only Alphablock who has no solo lines in this episode.
- This episode has the earliest airdate possible during the year, being January 7th.
Errors[]
- When T forgot to arrange transport, N's eyes glitched.
- After when T, R, AI, and L make the rail, A's eyes start to glitch; like N. L's eyes glitch for a short moment too when the train arrives and they get on it.
