Jenny Agutter and her new co-stars travel to Oakworth, 52 years after the classic film's release.

Image caption,The sequel is set almost 40 years after the first film, with Roberta, known as Bobbie, now a grandmother who takes in a new set of children who arrive on the railway - evacuees fleeing World War Two bombs in Salford.

"She would have been definitely a suffragette," Agutter said, speaking at the station, which was also a filming location for the follow-up. "It's a British classic. I had to have seen it. I've read all the books. I've even seen the theatre production where a real steam train came in." Writer Danny Brocklehurst said they tried not to think about risking the legacy of such a well-loved film.

That was based on a true incident in Bamber Bridge, Lancashire, where soldiers and military police got into a gun battle in 1943, leaving one of the soldiers dead.
