The story concerns a family who move from London to "The Three Chimneys", a house near the railway in Yorkshire, after the father, who works at the Foreign office, is imprisoned after being falsely accused of spying. The children befriend an Old Gentleman who regularly takes the 9:15 train near their home; he is eventually able to help prove their father's innocence, and the family is reunited. The family take care of a Russian exile, Mr Szczepansky, who came to England looking for his family (later located) and Jim, the grandson of the Old Gentleman, who suffers a broken leg in a tunnel.
The Railway Children are a Britishalternative rock band, formed in Wigan in 1984, by Gary Newby (songwriter/vocals/guitar/keyboards), Brian Bateman (rhythm/guitar), Guy Keegan (drums), and Stephen Hull (bass).
Career
Factory Recordsrecorded their debut single "A Gentle Sound" in 1986, followed by their first album, Reunion Wilderness in 1987. Both releases topped the UK Indie Chart, along with their second single, "Brighter". They left Factory shortly afterwards and were signed to Virgin Records.
1988 saw the release of their second album, Recurrence, on Virgin Records, and support tours with R.E.M. in Europe (Work Tour) and The Sugarcubes in the U.S. A national chart hit eluded them with singles "In The Meantime", "Somewhere South" and "Over and Over". In 1990, they released Native Place, an album that saw the band take a more pop oriented direction, with keyboard textures coming more to the fore then previously. "Every Beat of the Heart" became a Top 40hit in the UK with a peak at No.24, and the song became a No.1 hit on the newly founded Modern Rock Tracks chart in the U.S.
The Railway Children is an international children's charity, which aims to help runaway children and street children in India, East Africa and the UK. It is based in Cheshire, England, and is a registered charity under English law.
It was founded in 1995 by David Maidment, former Controller of Safety Policy at British Rail. It receives support from many within the British railway industry and railway enthusiasts.
