	The Telegraph - Calcutta : Opinion
		They are a growing, rag-tag band of children, numbering many thousands, who live, move and work across the length and breadth of the country, using its massive railways network — the trains as well as the station premises — to conduct the daily business of their lives.
		What these children have in common is that they have all run away from their families or some form of institutionalized care or confinement (usually the hellish government homes), or else they have chosen or been forced to spend the greater part of their working day away from home.
		After being and working with these children for a while, educated, middle-class boys of the same age-group might begin to appear strangely inept and helpless, rendered almost useless by protection and respectability — and this could be a disturbing, disorienting, even alienating experience for the not-so-detached observer, sometimes quite comically so.

		Begun in 1948 and officially completed in 1950, the Pioneer Railway was one of the most ambitious projects of the Pioneers, a Soviet youth organization along the lines of the Boy and Girl Scouts, only injected with a strong dose of proletariat cooperative spirit and Socialist camaraderie.
		The name was changed from the Pioneer Railway to the Children's Railway in 1990, and it's still entirely staffed by children, under the supervision of a few adults, running the same leisurely wooded route through Buda.
		The children still take their jobs very seriously; little flagmen salute the train as it leaves the station, and the girl who takes your ticket will waste no time in charging you the penalty (about 50 cents) if you've been careless enough to step on board without a ticket.

		The decision by the mother not to tell her children the truth is in keeping for the period but would seem unlikely in today's culture of celebrity gawping.
		The 1903 period detail of this remake is commendable, allowing for the author's use of 1870's red petticoats and the absence of the starched formal Edwardian capes of the 1970 film.
		The Bluebell Railway on the borders of the Capability Brown designed Sheffield Park in Sussex, replaces the Bronte country and Keighly and Worth Valley Railway of the previous adaptations.

	India's railway children \| csmonitor.com
		For them - and countless other children across India who have no other place to live - the station is much more than a transit point; it is an escape from a troubled home, a meager livelihood, and a veil of protection from the chaotic streets of overcrowded Bombay (Mumbai).
		It is difficult to estimate the number of children like Siraj who live in Bombay's stations; their mobility and the overwhelming number of homeless defy surveys.
		In Mumbai Central and Thane railway stations, the communities of children are more stable, mostly because of the greater presence of NGO representatives, who do what they can to provide food, classes, and clothing.

		The barriers to education for such children arise both from the external environment and from the children's own unique predicament of deprivation.
		These children are not merely out of school; the very concept of education is unknown to them.
		Outcomes of this project are to make schooling a habit; motivate parents to take charge; make education attainable, useful, and enjoyable for every child; and make children conscious of the role of education in upward social mobility.

	DVD Savant Review: The Railway Children (1970)
		The popular novel The Railway Children is one of those stories about plucky kids in Edwardian England, the kind of tale one expects to see handled in a more frivolous manner.
		The Railway Children was Jeffries' first film as a director, and his good taste in hewing closely to the modest lines of the book is matched only by his direction of actors.
		At the center of The Railway Children is Jenny Agutter, who is a marvel to watch and the real star of the show, even with 5th place billing.

		Consequently, the Railway Children flirted with club music on their third album, Native Place.

		All I remembered were the children standing beside the railroad tracks, a runner coming from inside the railway tunnel and the period clothing.
		All three children shone, but, what a star we have found in Jemima Rooper, she took you on the emotional roller-coaster ride of emotions that the role should depict in such a wonderful way, the final station scene no doubt having half the country in tears.
		A perfect cast, the children really did look their ages,and how delightful to see Sir Richard Attenborough as the old gentleman and the incomparable Jenny Agutter whom we remember from the TV series and the film.

		The children seek solace in the nearby railway station, making friends with Perks the porter and with the station master himself.
		Even though her books were written a century ago, such was the universal appeal of her themes and the ease with which children could identify with her characters that she has remained in print to this day and the stories are just as good now as they were then.
		As with any children's classic - and "The Railway Children" is both a classic and most probably her best book - its appeal lies in a cracking plot, good character development and adult accessibility; parents are as keen to read as their children are to listen.

		The children are left largely to their own devices, with no lessons to distract them.
