Reissued for its 40th Anniversary, The Railway Children remains a classic film for nostalgic times. Mother and her three kids relocate to a simple house in the north after Father is forced to go away. The children befriend Mr Perks at the station and get involved in various heartwarming adventures. Utterly charming, it should be required viewing for all families with young children.

Trip down memory lane. Good locations!!!

Very pleasant, very middle class, wish it had done more with the communist undertones. Saccharine and without risk, yet demands affection.
