i could never live on sodor because the geography is too mixed up. i could never live on sodor because the North Western Railway trust has too many delayes by idiot crews and engines. i could never live on sodor because they focus on children a little bit too much, what about everybody else?

I could never live on Sodor because I would spend all my time sneaking into the Yard to talk to the engines. I could never live on Sodor because I would keep convincing Percy to give me a ride on his bufferbeam to places. I could never live on Sodor because I would pester the Fat Controller to employ me as a station hand.

I could never live on Sodor because of certain characters that we first see in Misty Island Rescue -_- I could never live on Sodor because the fish is transported in an inefficient way

I could never live on Sodor because it has an inadequate road network.
I could never live on Sodor because there is something in the water. I base my theory on the 6 foot long fish and the fact that the local population thinks inanimate objects are talking to them...

I could never live on Sodor because of the beaches. They are nice and all, but are covered in shipwrecks who keep moaning about their situation. How can you relax when you've got a boat like Bulstrode going on and on about how he has sand up his nose?

I could never live on Sodor because there are engines with Cuban accents. I'm terrified of engines with Cuban accents. Go back to Russia.

I could never live on Sodor because there are these two strange disembodied voices stating the actions of me and everyone else. One has a Liverpudlian accent and speaks slowly while the other sounds more American and cheery.

- I could never live on Sodor because if I made a huge mistake, the narrator would blatantly state that it's "all my fault". - I could never live on Sodor because the Fat Controller (or Sir Topham Hatt to US fans or those who prefer his real name) would then tell me I have caused "confusion and delay", thus rubbing in what the narrator said, earlier.

I could never live on Sodor because I couldn't trust my commuter trains to stay on the rails. Plus, suing such a famous railway for the former reasons would be implausible.
I could never live on Sodor because for the last four/five years, the railway has lost its shape and consistency. Seriously. Over half the time we see trains running on screen, they always seem to be passing tree-dotted fields or underneath that one brick bridge.
I could never live on Sodor because trains rarely stop to load/unload. They just run down the same three parallel lines.
I could never live on Sodor because the only employers either work for the railway or with the railway. When's the last time you saw a shop that wasn't contracted to deliver by the NWR?
I could never live on Sodor because there are so few road maps. Either you reach a railway station or rail-linked destination or you get lost.
I could never live on Sodor because there are so few brake vans. I don't want the goods I paid YOU to ship, (obviously because I can't find anyone else to, as stated prior), to fly off the rails and become damaged. I'd leave that to Amtrak here in the 'States.
I could never live on Sodor because of the railway works. They seem to be building engines left, right and centre, without a core job in mind. Also, the designs are usually incredibly odd, old and feeble, or a mix of the two. If you're going to build six Manning Wardle saddletanks, lock them up in a miserable chalk quarry where they were designed for, and their poorly-developed brains can do little harm. Unless of course they forget the bloody brake vans.
I could never live on Sodor because the railways are entirely steam-powered. I may be a steam fan, but I'd like diesels or electric engines running oil trains if they're to be passing my cottage. Speaking of which, where are the electric engines the island claims to have? Are they just a myth amongst those barmy barley-growing hillbillies up in the Machans, or did Sir Topham snatch them up and rebuild their line in Peel Godred to take Manning Wardle tanks and Pennsylvania Pacifics? (Maybe that's where all the one-off locomotives keep disappearing to??)
I could never live on Sodor because as stated previously, either you work for the railway or with it. In Soviet Sodor, railways run YOU!
I could never live on Sodor because it seems to have displaced the Isle of Walney entirely. Probably got rid of their electric engines too, no doubt...
I could never live on Sodor because more islands pop up along side it. And they also come with oddball locomotive prototypes, that are, you guessed it, steam-powered...
I could never live on Sodor because there are too many holidays. I prefer to have a clear head when heading off to the railway freight offices in the morning to work unethically long shifts.
I could never live on Sodor because over half of the things we need to survive are imported. Coal, meat, non-cabbage produce, oil and its various forms, species of fish besides the Tidmouth Kipper, bricks, mortar, limestone, electronics, non-steam locomotives/machinery... the list goes on.
I could never live on Sodor because I'd never be guaranteed a breakfast. The Flying Kipper derails every which way it runs.
I could never live on Sodor because there is no consistency in railway loading gauge. We have Pennsylvania Railroad locomotives running round. Now that I think about it, where has that stereotypical eejit got to? Oh yeah, Peel Godred.
I could never live on Sodor because of racism and stereotyping. The railway's general manager is a fat man who is finely-dressed with a top hat, and accompanied by bodyguards. Locomotives, while from Eastern United States, speak with Texan accents. Almost anything that doesn't boil water or run on rails is frowned upon. And all this occcurs on platforms in front of passengers of all ages. Think about it. The Steamworks is well-staffed, clean, efficient, and well-equipped. Yet the railway has allowed the Dieselworks to become a complete shambles. Also, there is a platform above the running road sorelybecause the writing staff wanted a way to make the diesel characters lord over Percy in a gang-like manners in 'Day of the Diesels'. It served no purpose and was a total waste of several hundred tons of concrete.
I could never live on Sodor because of technological inconsistencies of the railways. Engines chasing each other between signalboxes and stopping in the middle of their roads. Steam engines starting too quickly from a stand. Safety valves and cylinder cocks never being opened or blowing off. Smokeboxes and fireboxes never being cleared. BR diesel shunters running at twice their average speeds. Engines never wearing proper headcodes. Plus, the guady coloring. If you aren't going to paint a 9F black, at least try Brunswick Green or at least something that doesn't show dirt. Not like tangerine. And who would agree with the sole-surviving Claud Hamilton being used for trip workings between coaling plants??
I could never live on Sodor because garbage is transported in open wagons by steam engines without spark-arresting equipment. I'll never eat strawberries or cocoa products shipped by the NWR again...
I could never live on Sodor because traction engines who love to entertain are a common target for riffers who accuse them of beastly, vile intentions, which you are aware of, while I won't describe them.
I could never live on Sodor because the maps of the RWS are entirely different from the TVS. Navigating on Sodor with a RWS map is like using Apple Maps. You might as well rely on instinct, the directions and pictures are so jumbled.
I could never live on Sodor because it's a mad, mad, mad island.
And if the Sodor Council can allow this many reasons to happen without interfering, as well as all the others previous writers of this thread have stated, its safe to say Sodor is not as happy a place as described. I'm Charlie of Sodor Island Forums. If you need someone to do nothing but stand around and b****, I'm your man.
Good night.

I could never live on Sodor because the police are to busy arresting tank engines and their crews to catch actual criminals.
I could never live on Sodor because you have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA when the next rail accident will occur.

I could never ever stay on Sodor because I would wearily have to hurl out these awful alliterations, and occasionally rhyme, which is would be some massive frustrations

I could never live on Sodor because I would be too afraid of engines much too large for the loading gauge knocking a bridge over on me.

I could never live on Sodor because there's no room for adolescents - just children and adults.
I could never live on Sodor because I'd have to go to school on Christmas Eve and presumably every day of my holiday leading up to it. (Henry's Lucky Day)
I could never live on Sodor because there'll be an unbuffered (is that even a word?) track leading towards my house, and an engine will crash through the wall while I'm having breakfast while getting ready to go to school on Christmas Eve, and thousands of dollars of damage is done to the house and my mum is only concerned about, of all things, the breakfast. Then the house will catch on fire and Flynn will take a century to find the house after drenching the Fat Controller's house and Dryaw station, and when he finally finds the house, he's run out of water and we all burn to death.
I could never live on Sodor because I'd be involved in a serious railway accident and not get hurt.
I could never live on Sodor because I exist. Unlike Sodor.
