Starring Jenny Agutter and Bernard Cribbins, Lionel Jeffries' adaptation of E. Nesbit's much-loved bestseller, The Railway Children is a timeless and enduring affair.

When Father is mysteriously arrested, the Waterbury children and their Mother (Dinah Sheridan) downsize and move to the country, where Bobbie (Jenny Agutter), Phyllis (Sally Thomsett) and Peter (Gary Warren) discover the local steam railway and befriend the station porter Mr Perks (Bernard Cribbins) and Old Gentleman (William Mervyn), who waves to them from his train every morning.

Sensitive without being sentimental, The Railway Children, re-released on DVD 4th July 2022 from StudioCanal, perfectly captures a magical moment in childhood and is widely regarded as one of the greatest children's films of all time.
