THE first official image from the sequel to much-loved classic film The Railway Children has been released. 

Iconic locations from the first film, including Haworth, The Bronte Parsonage and the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, will all feature in The Railway Children Return.

Jenny Agutter, who played Bobbie Waterbury in the original film, will resume her role while Sheridan Smith, Tom Courtenay and Game of Thrones’ John Bradley will also star.

The new generation of Railway Children are Beau Gadsdon, KJ Aikens, Eden Hamilton, Austin Haynes and Zac Cudby.

A BAFTA-award winning line-up is behind the film, with director Morgan Matthews, writer Danny Brocklehurst and producer Jemma Rodgers for Studiocanal.

The film, which will be released in April 2022, is described as an “enchanting adventure for a new generation” which will take audiences on a heart-warming journey, in which a group of children are evacuated to a Yorkshire village during World War Two.

There they encounter a young soldier, who, like them, is far away from home.
