With Zac desperately needing the toilet, his eldest sister Lily must find a way to bring the train to a standstill, and after failing to talk the conductor into putting the breaks on, she takes matters into her own hands and forces an emergency stop. We're in 1944, forty years on from the original film, and the kids are some of the many evacuees forced to move to the countryside to ensure their safety – eventually arriving at Oakworth Station where they are taken in by Bobbie's adult daughter Annie (Sheridan Smith).Īn early scene on their journey gives a nice indication as to the sort of territory we're in. Three of those kids – Beau Gadsdon, Eden Hamilton, and Zac Cudby – star as siblings Lily, Pattie and Ted, who we find at the start of the film tearfully boarding a train that will take them away from their mother and their Salford home. There are some nice reflective throwbacks to the original through Agutter's character, but Bobbie spends the majority of the film as a fairly background figure, with the baton passed on to a new group of kids in her stead.
