Pulling Together is the fifth episode of Underground Ernie. It originally aired on the 9th June 2006.

Plot[]

The twins Hammersmith and City are excited to be taking passengers to the big football match, as the teams they both support are playing. When Ernie tells them they won't be able to watch the match, they get incredibly stressed, and City is very wound up when the Reds score and Hammersmith won't stop gloating about it. In retaliation, City puts his brakes on, and the twins uncouple and get stuck on the line.

At the stadium, Victoria is trying to get into football, and leads Ernie in singing some football songs. When Ernie receives a message from Millie about the twins being stuck, Ernie sets off to the rescue. The twins make up their quarrel and Mr Rails fixes their coupling back together.

The twins are delighted to learn that the game ended in a draw, and Ernie allows them a day off next week to watch the rematch. Victoria reminds the trains that they're all part of their own team, and leads the trains in another song; not about the magic of football, but the magic of working together.
