“The Railway Children's Return will greatly boost the area, especially the tourism and celebration of the local area and the railway.

“The 1970s film Railway Children shone a light on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, and we hope the new film will continue to shine on the area, adding another accolade and further celebrating the City of Culture win.”
The London film premiere will be held on July 10 and will arrive in cinemas on July 15, 2022.
