The Railway Children: Watch Full Movie

In 1905, the Waterbury family lives in a luxurious villa in the London suburbs. Charles Waterbury, the father, works at the Foreign Office but, the day after Christmas, he is arrested on suspicion of being a spy, a fact hidden from the rest of the family by his wife. Now impoverished, they move to a house called Three Chimneys in Yorkshire, near to Oakworth railway station.

Life in Yorkshire

When they arrive, they find the house in a mess and rat-infested. The three children, Roberta (known as Bobbie), Phyllis and Peter, find amusement in watching the trains on the nearby railway line and waving to the passengers. They become friends with Albert Perks, the station porter, and with an elderly gentleman who regularly takes the 9:15 train.

Helping Others

To make ends meet, their mother works as a writer and meanwhile home-schools the children. When Mrs Waterbury falls ill with influenza, Bobbie writes to the gentleman, who delivers food and medicine to the house to help their mother recover. Later Mrs Waterbury admonishes the children for telling others of their plight and asking for assistance.

One day, the children witness a landslide which has partially obstructed the tracks. The girls fashion their red petticoats into flags to warn the driver of the impending danger and the train stops in time. The railway company and villagers hold a party for the children, and they are given lifetime train-passes and personalised engraved watches. Now they are dubbed “The Railway Children”.

Revelations and Reunions

Discovering that Mr Perks does not celebrate his birthday, the children secretly ask for gifts from the villagers that he has helped in the past and deliver them to his house. Mr Perks initially refuses the gifts as he does not accept charity. However, after the children explain the true circumstances, he thanks them for their kindness. In return, he delivers old newspapers and magazines for them to read.

Bobbie notices a story about their father being imprisoned. She discusses this with her mother, who finally discloses that he has been falsely convicted of being a spy and selling state secrets. Mrs Waterbury speculates that a jealous colleague of his may be behind it. Bobbie contacts the gentleman and asks him to help; he informs her that since meeting them and reading about the case, he has been convinced of their father’s innocence.

Later a group of youths are engaged in a paper chase, which the children observe, and one boy injures his leg in a railway tunnel. Helped by the children, he is taken to their house to recuperate from his injuries. The gentleman visits their home and reveals that the boy is his grandson, Jim, and thanks the family for looking after him. Jim and Bobbie grow close during his recuperation and promise to write to each other when he goes home.

After Jim leaves, Bobbie notices her father returning from prison, exonerated and released. The family reunites at Three Chimneys.
