The Railway Children

Few who have seen the classic film based on E. Nesbit’s novel will forget those words or the emotion they provoke.

This fresh new adaptation is based on the huge hit that was staged at Waterloo Station in London. So ‘tickets please’ and ‘all aboard’ for the perfect post-Christmas family treat
