Railway Children film receives first ever complaint – 42 years after release

Just shows how intelligent older people are - we realised it was just a film and that it was dangerous to play near trains. But younger folks aren't bright enough to figure that out...

Like you Pete I am old and realise that playing on railways tracks is not a good idea

Just the odd NCB train using it a sidings
