The sequel, which comes more than 50 years after the original film, was announced in May, with Jenny Agutter set to reprise her role as Roberta ‘Bobbie’ Waterbury, alongside turns from Sheridan Smith, Tom Courtenay, and a new generation of Railway Children.
The film will take audiences on an exciting and heart-warming journey, in which a group of children are evacuated to a Yorkshire village during World War 2, where they encounter a young soldier, who like them, is far away from home…
‘The Railway Children Return’ is helmed by BAFTA-winning director Morgan Matthews and was shot at several of the iconic locations used in the first film, including Haworth, The Bronte Parsonage, Oakworth station and several railways on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway.
