The Railway Children Sweet Jenny Agutter waving at steam trains, in this dated adaptation of the children's novel

Plot E. Nesbit’s beloved tale of three children shipped off to live in the country beside a railway line with their mother after their father is arrested on mysterious spying charges and they are left penniless. Yet, it proves the making of them, as they discover a way of helping their father from afar. Verdict Very dated but still enchanting for a Sunday afternoon over tea and crumpets.
