The Railway Children

The All-Time Classic For the Entire Family!

In turn-of-the-century London, 11 year-old Roberta Waterbury (a beautiful performance by Jenny Agutter) lives a perfect upper-class life with her parents and younger sister and brother until one fateful night when her father is mysteriously arrested. Suddenly impoverished the children and their mother are forced to move to a dusty cottage far away in the country perched on the edge of a railroad. But along these magical tracks, in the nearby station and on the mighty trains themselves, Bobbie and her siblings will discover adventure, face danger and forge friendships that will change their young lives forever. This is the extraordinary story of The Railway Children.



Dinah Sheridan and Bernard Cribbins co-star in this heartwarming hit based on the beloved novel by Edith Nesbit and filmed on location in the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside. Nominated for three British Academy Awards, The Railway Children remains one of the best-loved family classics of our time and was recently named one of the 100 Best British Films of the 20th Century by the British Family Institute.
