The Railway Children
Classic period drama about three children whose lives change dramatically after they move from a comfortable townhouse to a small Yorkshire cottage near a railway line.
1904, England. When their father is mysteriously arrested, the Waterbury children and their mother downsize and move to the Yorkshire countryside. Bobbie, Phyllis and Peter discover the local steam railway, and on their adventures, they befriend the station porter, Mr Perks, and try to discover the truth about their father.
Lionel Jeffries's beloved film version of ES Nesbit's classic book.
