Railway Children

The Railway Children film starring Jenny Agutter is well known and loved by many, and at the moment it is being re enacted on Waterloo Station!

I thought this was a unique and excellent venue linking the railway of today with the old fashioned steam engines that were running at the time that the book was first published by E Nesbit in 1906. The filming for a lot of the scenes – particularly the railway scenes – took place on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.

This year sees the 40th anniversary of the film, the film is being re released and you should be able to catch a showing at a Cinema near you soon, and has been updated by being digitally enhanced.

To celebrate this anniversary there are guided tours at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, which will include the locations of where the filming took place, and cream teas served in the Old Gentleman’s Saloon – but book soon places are limited dates 1st, 2nd and 3rd of May a real treat of a trip down memory lane.
