I have loved this film for years, and so do my children aged 10 and 5 years. It just oozes british charm, it is very touching and sentimental without being cheesy. It has some very funny scenes in it, The part where they arrive at their new home, a run down cottage in the country, there is a very eccentric old man that just keeps saying "I daresay" and is now help at all for the poor mother who is in depair, at having to give up her lovely home, to move here with her children all on her own, after about the 6th time of saying " I daresay" The mother pipes up "If you say I daresay, one more time, I shall have hysterics I daresay" Hilarious!!! All the characters have their own personalities and they are portrayed brilliantly by the actors, especially Bernard Cribbins who plays Mr Perks the Station Porter. You need to have this film in your collection, it is a really comfort film!!Read full review
To me, possibly one of the greatest ever films Sweet innocence, the importance of a family, acts of great kindness, and brilliant acting I look forward to the 50 year celebrations on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway later in 2020 The 40th anniversary was excellent, with the wonderful Sally Thomsett in attendance

This is the original film of the classic English story The Railway Children by E. Nesbit and stays true to the original story. Lovely family film that is a favorite in our household. Follows the adventures of Roberta, Peter and Phyllis as they move to a new house in the country and make new friends. While the mystery remains, where is their father and will he return?

A golden oldie film with class. Not too many newer films will stand this test when they get that age. The dialogue is clear too.
