The Railway Children Return

Coming to cinemas July 15th 2022

Based on a celebrated novel by E. Nesbit, the original 1970 film follows three children, who, after the enforced absence of their father, move with their mother to Yorkshire where they attempt to discover the reason for his disappearance.

Picking up nearly forty years after the events of the original film, “The Railway Children Return” follows a new group of children who are evacuated to a Yorkshire village during WWII, where they encounter a young soldier, who like them, is far away from home.

BAFTA and Emmy winning Jenny Agutter resumes her role as Roberta from the original “The Railway Children” and is joined by BAFTA winning Sheridan Smith (“Cilla”), Oscar nominee and BAFTA winner Tom Courtenay (“45 Years”) and John Bradley (“Game of Thrones”).

Playing the new generation of Railway Children are Beau Gadsdon (“The Crown”), K.J. Aikens, Eden Hamilton, Austin Haynes and Zac Cudby.

The film was written by BAFTA-winning Danny Brocklehurst (“Brassic”), based on a treatment by BAFTA winning producer Jemma Rodgers (“Double Take”). Rodgers also produced the film for Studiocanal. BAFTA winning filmmaker Morgan Matthews (“X+Y”) directed.
