The Docks is the harbour where ships arrive to drop off and collect cargo from Chuggington and beyond.
Operations[]
Skipper Stu runs the Docks, with Harry and Hamish handling deliveries and transport, and Russ handling sorting. Tai joins the team in the sixth season as a trainee shunter. On the premises is:
- Stu's control tower, built on the remains of a sea fort,
- a massive dock crane which Stu operates to unload and reload ships,
- a storage depot for containers,
- an old steam crane,
- a warehouse,
- a repair shed,
- a carousal for Daley's pickups,
- a lighthouse island,
- and a roundhouse for the four Dockers.
Captain Charlie frequently comes in with his ship to collect and deliver cargo.
The docks also has a lengthy quay for use of one one of the first activities of the day for the team: Docking the ships that arrive. Two chuggers are attached to tow ropes, pulling them into place for the crane to unload. It's a job that, depending on the day or job, has gotten everyone on the Docks crew involved.
Biography[]
The docks were frequently mentioned in the first four seasons, but finally appeared in the fifth season. Many incidents have happened here, including a closure preventing freight from coming in, the Massive Crane breaking down, forcing Stu to improvise and fire up the old steam crane to get a consignment of rails delivered, a freeze preventing important fuel supplies from getting up the gorge to the town, and a fire at the Lighthouse that destroyed the lamp room and called for urgent repair by the Chuggineers.
As of the sixth season, the docks are now a prominent location, with many more adventures set here and the addition of Tai to the team as a trainee. The trainees nearly delay a delivery of apples for a ship due to a misunderstanding with Hamish, Koko staying up too late nearly delays her bringing Mayor Pullman to the christening of a new cargo ship called "The S.S. Slumber", with her also causing a mess when bringing in a ship too fast due to a power booster, a huge cargo delivery, including a load of boat anchors, caused problems for the team, and the lighthouse suffered mechanical faults due to an over-powered Drop and Load Crane motor, nearly causing a ship to run aground.
