The Railway Children at the Waterloo Station Theatre, London Classic Children’s Story Steams Back to Waterloo The Railway Children returns to Waterloo Station for a second time, after an original record-breaking run at the site of the former Eurostar Terminal. Adapted for stage by Mike Kenny, The Railway Children tells the story of three siblings who move to live in the Yorkshire countryside after their father, who works for the Foreign Office, is taken away from the family in mysterious circumstances. The children, Bobby, Peter & Phyllis, find distraction in watching the trains on the nearby railway line. They also become close friends with Perks, the station porter, & an Old Gentleman who they see regularly on the 9.15 train. The plot takes many dramatic twists & turns before the family is finally reunited in an uplifting finale.
