Just read about this. Watched it dozens of times when eldest son was little. Jenny Agutter to reprise Railway Children role in film sequel - BBC News
This was one of my favourite films when I was young. Although, it might have been that I had a huge crush on Jenny of course!!
Maybe the the producers might see this thread Were any British trains attacked? I wonder who the young soldier will be?
This was on the radio, I think, relatively recently... Kinder Transport Memorial, Liverpool Street Station, London BBC Radio 4 - 80 Not Out, The Saving of Albert Perks So perhaps the stories might overlap... The Saving of Albert Perks 80 Not OutEpisode 1 of 5 One of our best-loved actors, Bernard Cribbins, will always be remembered for playing Albert Perks in the much-loved film The Railway Children. In this poignant story, which has been specially written for him by Roy Apps, Bernard revisits this popular character. Now nearing retirement, Perks' life is turned upside down when one of the railway children returns to Oakworth. But why has she come and who are the two children she has brought with her? They are not hers but refugees from atrocities in Germany. This story reunites Bernard Cribbins and director, Martin Jenkins, who have worked together many times since Bernard recorded Winnie-the-Pooh for Radio 4 in the early 1970s. Director: Martin Jenkins Sound Designer: David Thomas A Pier production for BBC Radio 4
