Trivia

 * His shovel can be removed and replaced with a jackhammer attachment, like Oliver's.
 * A semi-complete face mask of Alfie was preserved by the Top Props preservation group.
 * In Mines of Mystery, it is revealed that Alfie gets seasick on boat rides, complete with a slightly green face, and red nose after he hit the shore, and showing signs of nausea, and groaning. Due to this, he is the first and only vehicle character with seasickness.
 * Alfie's horn sounds similar to Bulgy's main and Sir Topham Hatt's car from the sixth to seventh series.
 * His horn sound was later reused for some cars and a truck in the mobile app Read and Play!. It was also reused for Sir Topham Hatt's car in the same mobile app as well.
 * Alfie had a total of sixteen facial expressions, three of which (troubled sleeping, seething and yawning) were not used on-screen.
