Synopsis

This warm and whimsical British satire is like a window on a bygone era. The first colour comedy from the famous Ealing Studios, it finds residents of a remote English village up in arms when they're told their train line is being shut down. In an attempt to save the service, the local vicar and squire devise a scheme for the villagers to run it themselves. The trouble is, the area bus company supports the closure and decides to sabotage their efforts - prompting the community to resurrect a vintage engine from the local museum.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
