Synopsis
When Father is taken away unexpectedly, Roberta, Peter, Phyllis and their mother have to leave their comfortable life in London to go and live in a small cottage in the country. The children seek solace in the nearby railway station, and make friends with Perks the Porter and the Station Master himself. Each day Roberta, Peter and Phyllis run down the field to the railway track and wave at the passing London train, sending their love to father. Little do they know that the kindly old gentleman passenger who waves back holds the key to their father's disappearance.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   0 of 1 people found the following review helpful: The Railway Children, 7 May 2002 By A Customer The Children's father is sent to war and his wife desided that is would be better for there children to be educated in a country environment away from the city. They move to a small house which has a railway junction at the bottom of the garden. When the children first arrive they disliked country life and found it very boring until one day they met a gentlemen called Perks who was in charge of running the local railway station and things came much more interesting. ITS GREAT!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this) › See all customer reviews...		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
